We would run an NGK TR6 in that setup. Colder plug for the nitrous.

a br6ef is too hot for your setup with a 150 shot!! Imo a br8ef should be about the right heat range on your setup! For example a br6ef is good for a stock/mild bolt-on car spraying no more than a 100 shot. You have higher compression, cam, 150 shot... wich means you need to go 2 degrees colder!
Hope this helps.

Br7ef or br8ef. Definitely not the tr6. It is a projected tip plug which is not ideal for nitrous
