Default NGK TR8 plugs

I spoke with someone today about a real cold plug. Something colder then a NGK TR6, it was a TR8si or TR8xi or something like that.
Has anyone used these before?

i would never spray anything on stock plugs.. i would run a tr6 (4177 is the stocking number) and stay there up to 150 ( some say higher but i dunno it worries me) above 150 i'd go to a 7

okay so these plugs are being used, and are popular with the Nitrous guys.
At 11.85 compression and a 200 shot would the TR7 or TR8's be a better choice?
I run the car twice a week around town so I need a plug that will work for both.

If you put timing back in the motor for around town i think you will be fine.

So maybe a dry shot would be a better option.
I have 50 lbs injectors, 2 fuel pump's etc etc, fuel isn't a problem.
I could tune the car on motor and let the MAF sensor do the rest.
