Default nitrous guys that change plugs often, quick question

do you guys use anti-seize every time you change plugs? Dielectric grease in the rubber?

i am talking about guys that pull plugs every trip to the track on nitrous.

I used it once and then I have gone threw about 12 plug changes and I did not add anti seize and its just as easy to get them out or in.

Every new set that go's in has antiseze on the threads.We do no put more antiseze on the plugs when they go in and out of the motor.My car gets a new set of plugs before every race or test night.We warn up the motor on the set from the prior race or test.

I never use either. Plugs come out of the engine after every pass. Just don't over tighten the plugs. A snug fit is fine.

Anti-sieze inside of the combustion chamber on a nitrous engine is something you don't want.

Anti seize on all new plugs here. Dielectric grease in the boot every now and then.

i guess it really breaks down to if one changes plugs every pass/trip to the track or every few weeks/months. guess it really depends on the type of plugs and how often you race lol.
