Never spray without changing plugs. Just asking for a major catastrophe. Its not that hard to swap them out.

TR6 would suit you well. Leave them gapped out of the box around 36-38. Just make sure to check the gap before you throw them in. I've seen a few boxes from NGK damaged in the past.

Most likely a budget build and/or no need for the bigger shot.

I wouldn't put any amount of nitrous on without tuning but I'd say 100 shot max without pulling timing.
