I ran a 150 shot on my L98 for years with the "stock" heat range plugs with no problems. There is alot to be said for tuning. I would retard the timing a bit to be on the safe side.

:iagree: it's kind of a trade off, colder range plugs or running with less timing....

I run a 125 shot, no timing or spark plug change at all. Just check your plugs after a nitrous run.
