Not a bad idea to put antiseize on the plugs anytime you change them. As far as the kit goes, looks like a pretty basic wet nitrous kit, I wouldn't worry about getting a plate. Just jet that nozzle you have, and go. You could have Lew pull a little timing for you on your tune. Could also invest in a window switch to avoid spraying though shifts, as our trannys are already junk.

don't put anti-sieze on plugs!

newer plugs have a coating on them, which is usually silver, sometimes with a greenish or golden tinge to it, it`s not bare metal (dark or black in color)

Why not use anti-seize compound?

1 - you can easily over torque it and deform it without even knowing or even worse pull the aluminum threads right out of the head. Dry and Wet torques are totally different installed values.

2 - if any manages to get to the insulator or tip shorting/misfire will occur.

3 - it acts as an insulator and prevents proper heat exchange between plug and head/water jacket.

yes.. you want them to be one heat range cooler man... that's why you want the tr6ix plugs instead of the stock tr5ix... the tr6ix is one heat range cooler

and you want to gap them at .035 instead of .040
