Default What plugs to use for nitrous?

Just bought a tnt kit with nano, will be installing in the spring.
i know i need to switch out the plugs. I believe i was told NGK TR6 plugs are the ones i should run. What gap should i set them at?

Or is there a different, better plug out there to use?
Thanks
Aj

Note: motor is a forged 427ci.

Depending on compression you might be a heat range 6 off the bat. We really need to know more details before anyone can recommend a plug.

I'd start out with tr9's just to be safe, you will probably end up running 8's though.
