Default Spark plugs and nitrous??

I know most everyone runs NGK TR6's when spraying and I just burnt up a few plugs at the track last night so I pulled one and it has Autolite 5245's in it. My question is are these plugs even used in the LS1 much less in a sprayed LS1 runnig low 10's??

You shouldn't be using nitrous if you don't even know what plugs are installed. Search in the nitrous section and you'll find your answer about what plugs you should be using.

NGK TR6's ARE what was suppose to be in the car or at least what I wanted put in the car. I know what is suppose to be in my car BUY that is not what was put in it so that in turn sparked my curiosity on the plugs that were put in it! NOW back to my original question how bad are the plugs that were put in it for my car?

Edited; I was a little harsh!!

its not that ****** hard, do a search on google. If you'd done that you'd see it crosses to a tr55. If you can't figure out if that's good or bad then you deserve what's coming to you.

For the record TR6's are projected tip plugs.

This is a daily driven car I drive the car to work everyday and everywhere I go I put the TR6's in to get a little better driveability out of the car because my wife also drives it sometimes and I was trying to find a plug that would be right in the middle. I dont do most of the work on my car because I dont have to and sense day one I have been told with my setup to run TR6's. If I am wrong educate me dont just tell someone if they dont know they are stupid because I can guarantee there are many thing I can make many people look very stupid doing but chose not to.

I have no problem being wrong in using the TR6 plugs and if you have a reason or suggestion I will read it and learn a little more.

I went a little of the handle and realise it and I do apologize.

TR6's are projected tip plugs. They are not meant to be ran with nitrous PERIOD. Alot of internet racers on here will tell you that they are fine but they are not made to be ran with nitrous.
People do it all the time but those people have no clue what they are doing, they just read some **** on here and assumed it was the right thing to do.

I gave a very good plug for both NA driving (assuming your tuner can trim fuel trims correctly) and for spraying. using the correct plug NA usually nets a few more ponies as well with a good tune. Ive seen 40 by going from tr6's to an NGk 8 and cleaning up the tune because the new plugs can handle it without knock rah-tard.

I run an Autolite 103 for street. I change my plugs to a heat range 8 or 8 1/2 to spray a decent sized shot.
