Lets talk about motor and nitrous plugs and gap

For NA 0.035 is fine.
On a 150 hit, 0.035 is probably fine, but it wont hurt to close it up some.
As for timing - take out 6-8º, and work your way back up til the plugs read well.
For a 150 hit the 8 plug may be a little too cold, all depends on the rest of the engine, so be careful not to put too much timing in if youre not seeing a timing mark on the plugs.

BR8EF comes out of the box gapped .025 -.028. Set them all at one or the other. I wouldn't bother opening them up anymore than that on nitrous.
I'd pull minimum 8 - 10 degrees and read the strap. Better safe than sorry on the first hits.

Edelbrock plate and the manual says to use a 68 nitrous jet and a 68 fuel jet for a 150 shot......I think my fuel pressures is at 7 or 8 right now...Prosystems built the 4150 carb to my motor......Car runs excellent on motor...so far a 10.11@132...on motor but where going to move the timing more one more time and try for 9's on motor than maybe try the hose......and yes i'm using the BR7EF....gaped at .035.....plugs look excellent after a run....i'm a little nervous about trying this nitrous out and want to make sure things are right first.......thanks for the help.
I would pull around 9 degrees of timing on that pill from your NA timing
I would start tune ups as Edelbrock says which should be really fat. Fuel pressure usually starts at 6.5#
Warm the car up on one set of plugs and put a fresh set in, make a hit and shut it off. Cut at least one plug and Repeat till your happy with the tune up.
I was running a Big Shot plate and ended up with a 12 jet spread and 5# of fuel pressure for a 100 shot and it's still a little fat. You can tell from the base ring and the strap there wasn't much heat so it could've stood a little more timing, but I was happy with this tune up. Good Luck

I think you have made good plug choices and the gaps sound good too. If you have a seperate regulator for the nitrous, I would drop it to 5.5 pounds. The only reason I suggest that pressure is that it is kind of the "standard" fuel pressure for most of the big boy nitrous guys, so you can share jetting strategies apples to apples.
As for the nitrous jetting, what the most credible nitrous guys that I know recommend starting with a 10 jet spread with 5.5lbs pressure at the 150 level. I personally run a 12 jet spread for my 150 tune (63n/51f). I started out pulling 8 degrees and settled in at 6 degrees pulled for my 150 shot. I think I could go to 5 degrees based on the heat in the plug.
I personally have run BR7 plugs all the way up to an 81n jet tune and they looked perfect with no signs of excessive heat. However, I have a couple boxes of B8EFS for the next set of nitrous passes.

Limited knowledge here on the bottle and the "kit" that was pieced together using parts from a few buddies along with their help on my car (only used a few times on the old SBC) The above helped me on finding a base tune for the few jets I have. I've played with it some, and by adjusting the fuel pressure a touch I can dial in what I have.
The numbers fall pretty much in line with what others are running on their set-ups too
As for the timing, I have always been told pull 2* per 50hp as a base line and PULL THE PLUGS
For the plug gap, I was told to tighten it up some...about .005(or more depending on plug gap N/A) at anything over 100 and under 200.
