Is a hotwire kit and a bottle heater needed?
I am running a 383 with a fast 90/90, 36lb injectors and plan on spraying a 150 shot in the next week or so and I am trying to round up what I need. I have a granatelli 255lph fuel pump with no hot wire kit...will a hot wire kit be needed? Also will I be safe with using NGK tr6's and is a bottle heater necessary?

Wow, how the times have changed. I remember not too long ago when TR6's were the ****.Everyone recommended them for 200 or less, and people would spray them up to 200 without issues. I myself, probably have more than 100 150 shot passes, and about 50 200 shot passes on TR6's.
I guess my question is; did something change in the design of the plugs or something? What is your personal experience in running this plug vs. the BR7? Reason I am asking is, that is a pretty bold statement considering you know nothing about his motor or car.

I don't recomend a 6 unless its a bone stock car with a small shot. the hp difference is nothing so the colder plug has its advantages.

Holy ****...a 9???
I don't have a problem running colder plugs, but sometimes they are a bitch to find for us "regular guys". Whereas I can go to about 4 different places in town and pick up TR6's.
Alot of these guys don't have race cars. They just want to screw around with a little spray. A 9 is a pretty cold plug to be daily driving. I think a 6 or 7 would be appropriate in this application.

You could throw stuff at it and it might work. but for the price of 3 sets of plugs and a few gal of good gas its worth every penny to not burn it up or even just hurt the rings enough the motor is a blowby turd until its freshened up.
our car drives on 11's the same way a stock car drives on 5's . You need timming and less fuel to clean the plug off. once you have it on. theres no difference at idle. and the few motor hp your down is worth the unlimited life of the motor.

To each his own, but I've sprayed countless bottles on TR6's, never had an issue. That was on pump & race gas, both bolt on & big cube motors. A couple of years ago I put some "special nitrous plug" in a kids car, had nothing but problems no matter the gap, on motor & on the gas. I put some old tr6's I had in the garage, cleared right up, not a bad plug in my book unless your dealing with a purpose built all out nitrous car.

Ok that sounds good...now if you were to throw a number out there providing I have good traction and an all around good pass, what do you think I can expect to pick up. My best et so far is an 11.08@125mph on a 1.57 60ft. I am running 10.5x26 M/T ET streets...would you spray it off the line or would you wait til second gear?
