Your friend gives bad advice. How he hasn't burned anything up is nothing but pure dumb luck. ALWAYS run colder plugs with non-projected electrodes for nitrous. I run NGK -8's on motor and spray, gapped to .030". They do just fine when not spraying. If colder plugs give fits, then the tune sucks.

Never in a million years would I recommend that especially if he is spraying quite a bit.

tr6 gapped at .40 should be a good starting point. Check the plugs after a run and adjust accordingly. I have seen guys run these plugs anywhere from .35-.45.

Run the TR-55's, it's always cool to see disappearing ground straps and nice little brown & black spec's all over the insulator.
