Default Nitrous spark plugs?

What plugs are you guys running with your nitrous setups? I running autolite 104's right now with a dry 100 shot, just wondering if I should change plugs for my new nitrous outlet plate kit spraying 150 to 200 shot?

Most run NGK TR6s at those levels. I'm not sure what the Autolite equivalent is. You can cross reference I'm sure.

If you can get them. autolite 103's are an even colder plug. nice thing about autolites the last number is the heat range. higher the number the hotter the plug

the good thing about the autolites is that the ar series have a cut back electrode that helps with nitrous. i used them in my 383 with dart heads but for the daily driver lt1 it has ngk tr6's. im not going to change them out just yet cuz they work fine. so choose either or i doubt you would ever feel a difference.

for a 200 shot I would run Autolite AR94s or AR474s. They are both true racing plugs the AR474 is a non projected tip

what plug would you run on a street car that sees a 200 shot? what happens if you run race plugs on the street?

I just bought a set of tr6's and they have a v groove in the electrode. Are these the right plugs?

As long as they say TR6 they should be the correct ones. They do have the v-groove.
