Plug gapping for nitrous (BR6EF)

Im planning on doing a 75-100 wet shot in a few weeks on my cammed c5z. Ive read up and hear the br6efs (ngk3177) are the way to go with their non projected design. Is the br6ef suffice for that kind of shot? What should i gap them at? The tr6s are the same heat range and gapped at .035, should i just run a .035 gap on the br6efs and call it a day? Thanks

*If i go over a 100 shot ill probly upgrade to the br7ef. (racetronix pump in the mail)

.035 will do fine.

I sent an email to Nitrous Outlet the other day regarding the BR7EF and was told to gap at 33 in case you put those in.

I run the BR7EF plugs gaped at .035...doubt if a -.002 gap would make any difference.

So, say a 100 shot. Which would you reccomend? br6ef -1step colder or br7ef -2steps colder? Advantage/disadvantages?

Spoke with HSW and they said br6ef will do good as far as a DD and a 75-100 shot. I read over on ls1tech the br7efs have problems with idling and fouling out on a daily driver. So with that said, when i go up to a 125-150 shot ill replace them for br7efs. Hopefully ill have some dyno numbers soon!

(Just looking for ~500rwhp ~530rwtq, sharpening my launch and maybe 373 gears, 10.999 is my goal)
