I was wondering which plugs would be best for me right now. I plan on running nitrous but it will be after christmas(gotta get my other street car going first) I would like to change my plugs here soon since they do have 60,000 miles on them. I don't want to loose any NA power but I don't want to have to worry about blowing something up on nitrous. I'm probably going to run a NOS dry system not jetted over a 100hp. OR should I go ahead and change the plugs now and then change them when I get ready to spray the car?
My current mods are in the sig(I think they are all in there)

TR-6's for n20.. but keep in mind they dont last to long.. i usually replace my tr-6's around 4k miles cause they are cheap..
NGK TR55's for normal operation..

Sure they will work for a small shot. Just make sure to narrow the gap a bit (you shouldn't go lower than about .045 with these) and keep it to a 100 shot or better. Higher octane and less timing advance (20-24 degrees max) would be advisable. You can manipulate the timing advance with resistors plugged into the IAT harness.
...But, I would just go ahead and install TR-6s gapped at about .038. You won't loss any NA power worth mentioning.

I think I might get some tr55's now and also order some tr6's. so I'll have em ready to put in b/c I'll probably have 5K miles on the plugs by the time I get ready for the nitrous. I was hoping to be ready for it by christmas but I'm getting slowed up with my camaro project and I got a couple of bills that need to be knocked out. I believe I need about 1000 ( about a 2 months work<-- remember part time student here) to get the camaro on the street and then I'll be ready to spray the TA... I might go with some suspension mods before it.
I hope to spray it before the spring at least so I can get a decent n/a and nitrous run.
