Default What spark plug for Nitrous

I have a 2001 I am adding nitrous to, and want to know what spark plugs to go with.

Mods are:

B&B exhaust
X pipe
ported throttle body
K&N intake
tuned with HP Tuners

Thanks

I am going with a 150 shot, going to order the Tr6's thanks for the input, and yes I am going to have to retard the timing on the high rpm end to accomodate for the shot
