Default Plugs that are 2 ranges colder than stock?

When would be a good time to go to plugs 2 ranges colder than stock?

i saw a listing of different levels of NOS and what plugs to use, would the same apply to supercharging?

what are the downsides to using these?

Kilroy...

I think I would stick with TR6s. If you go any colder than that, you may very well run into plug fouling, missing and driveability problems during normal everyday use. TR6s are plenty cold enough. And they will certainly handle boost/nitrous if gapped a little tighter than stock.

Just my opinion,
Ron
