Default question about spark plugs

Hi folks,
I have just ordered a nitrous system from TByrne. I noticed that they suggest on their web site that you use a colder spark plug when using nitrous.

Two questions: if running a 100 shot is this necessary? And, if I go to a colder plug will this affect my normal performance when not using nitrous?

Thanks for your help.

Tgeers , i have little to no experience with N2O..But i did read a recent post from DSK888 and he mentioned that he was running into problems becasue he had NOT installed colder plugs..and he is running a 100 shot.

So i would say go with the cooler plugs and avoid any possible problems.

Gd Lk !

I would definately put some tr-6's in there. I had them when I was using the procharger and left them in after I put the car back to stock (kind of forgot to swap them) and never had any issues after 5000 miles when I traded the car in.

Switch to the NGK's TR 6's and close the gap, probably around .050 :D

If I remember. the TR6's last I checked come gapped at .035. I see many users running them at .040.
