Use TR6s for N2O.

I've found that the TR55s perform the same at any gap between .050 and .060. I usually split the difference and do .055.

FWIW they come at .055 so I'd leave them there. TR-6's are for No2.

I left them at .055 and they perform great. A lot better than the stock ones that came out of the car at .070 and above

Probably wont lose power. If you want to run aftermarkets, I'd go with the Taylors.
