Shot size is really relative to the user. Some guys are fine with smaller shots while others aren't, so asking that question is just going to get you a bunch of different replies.

Definitely start with a 75 shot. I think that's a nice size intro shot with these cars. Just a few things you will want to address...fueling and spark. Make sure you have enough fuel supply when you hit the nitrous and make sure your timing hasn't been advanced any and look at your plugs to make sure your timing is ideal.

You will need to run a colder spark plug and use some safety accessories along with the nitrous such as a window switch, filter, blowdown, etc. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks.

It's a projected tip, while the BR6EF is non projected.. When I bought my Nitrous outlet plate kit 2 years ago, TR6's were the recommended plug on a 100 shot, technology changes and now the BR6EF is recommended.. So I'll be swapping my TR6's out when my car gets out of the paint shop.. (if it ever gets out..lol)

not another tr6 debate, its a proven plug, going over 100 shot go to a non projected. ask your tuner and use what he says dont let these guys or even myself talk you into it....ask your tuner.

Not debating.. I have run TR6's for over 2 years, but I am going to try the BR6EFs when I have a new tune done this spring..

Using a tr6 vs a br6ef for this application is just like a butter knife or a flathead scwerdriver for a flathead screw.

Both of them work but which is the better one for the job? Obviously, the br6ef
