Corvette z06 spark plugs recommendations
Hi there, so I have an 07 z06 and I want to change the spark plugs but I really don't know which one I'm getting. I put an lsx block and the setup is for nitrous application. Which spark plugs you guys recommend?

Probably get more replies in the C6 section.

I'd do a bit of reading on the web about how to read spark plugs, then pull a plug and examine it 
Each setup is going to respond a little differently, and then you add fuel quality and local operating conditions into the mix (altitude, humidity, etc.).
You didn't say what compression you are running, but you did note that you're going to run nitrous. You normally run a plug 1 to 2 steps cooler than stock to pull some of the combustion chamber heat out to keep detonation at hand.
Many have made the switch to NGK TR6IX iridium plugs, which are the standard heat range for a stock LS7 and LS9. NGK TR7's (and maybe 8's depending on how much compression and spray you run) might be required for your setup. Most nitrous manufactures also recommend non projected tip spark plug when spraying nitrous, and I've heard that LS motors have responded well to the Brisk plugs too.
