I believe the #17 Brisks are cooler than TR55s (maybe even cooler than TR6s??).

Can I use the BRISK plugs with nitrous? I will write this down and look into it. I already ordered the NGK TR55's and I'll be changing them out in 6-8 months when I add the nitrous.

Ngk TR55's are great plugs. I have run Bosch, Champion, Autolite, Splitfire. NGK's run the best in my car. Others foul quickly or I get stumbling. Oh, I have also tried Rapid Fires and they suck. Hope that helps.

I figure that before next race season (when I install the bottle) I'll switch out the plugs for the TR6's
