Default spark plug question

Hey,

Im finishing up my first nitrous install and am running NGK TR-55's at .055 spark plugs

The nitrous will be set at a 100 shot.

Should I change the plugs to something else or are these fine?

Yes I am ignorant

Gap the plugs at .033-.035 for the Nitrous. Just My .02 worth.

Hey, It is a Wet Zex kit (hah! I like the sound of that) 75-125 jets (only going to run 100 shot)
It comes from zex made for the LS1/6 with a sensor that hooks into your throttle body so it sprays at wide open throttle automatically when armed and both sellinoids come in one housing for cleaner install as well. Also will have purge with blue LED that makes it look like a flame. I know ricer, but I like ricers too. Think it will scare people off (win by default )

Got the spark plug gaps changed to .035 today. The driver rear bank was very hard to do. Chevy sure does like to make things hard for us home mechanics.

Monday she'll be at the shop getting the finishing touches. I am really excited. Already have traction issues though. Those c6 zo6 wheel are looking pretty hot.
