2 steps colder than stock, non projected tip.

Good advice Daniel. I ran projected tips with nitrous long before I knew there were non-projected tips and everything worked out for me. I also had other safeties in my car. A Nitrous mastermind was the center of it. It retarded the timing, shut off the nitrous before the rev limiter, and was progressive. I am not telling you to run this plug, but many have been happy with the NGK BR6EF. I believe that is one step colder. Many have also run the TR6 and been successful. I personally would look at the BR6EF or BR7EF. I like NGK. The choice is ultimately yours. With a safe tune, it probably won't matter what plug you run. (within reason)
Good luck, have fun, and educate yourself.

My NOS kit says that for a stock engine you can leave the plugs stock. I'd still change them to be safe.
