NGK's TR6's or some AutoLite 106's not recommended to run hot plugs with nitrous

on a 75 shot you can run tr5's but if you step it up any switch to tr6's
start your gap at .035

Sounds like you might be getting some spark blowout. Check the gap -- but definitely with any forced induced application the TR6s are the way to go. Just make sure they're gapped correctly (.035)
