Default Autolite 103's

I just bought some Autolite 103's for my dry nitrous set up. Anyone else using these plugs? I couldn't get the NGK TR6's...special order BS and I didn't want to wait. Gapped the 103's at .35. Anyone else using these for their Nitrous set up?

Local F-body guys use them and swear by them. Two members had failed plugs with NGK's but Autolite 103's never failed them.

I ran Autolite 103 for a little bit. They are pretty good a shot of about 150hp. Anything larger and you will need to go with a cold plug. I am currently running with the NGK Racing R5724-8 plugs which are 3 steps colder for the 300hp shot :)

I'm only going to run a 50, 75 or 100 dry shot, depending on traction. Thinking I may just set the window switch to come on at 3800 rpm's and just spray a 75 shot through all the gears (MN6). That way I could launch the car, then have the nitrous come on when I already have traction in 1st gear. Then when I shift, it only drops to like 4000 rpm's anyway, so the system would still be on.
