Default Spark Plugs For Nitrous

So i bought some TR55's from my local parts house about 6 months ago with the intentions of installing them, well i tried for about 5 seconds and gave up, now that i bought my nitrous system im kinda glad i didnt waste the time, so i took them back and returned them for some Autolite 605's which are supposed to be a step colder, but the guys at the parts house really didnt know what an LS1 was much less what plugs i needed so im kinda uncomfortable about what they have given me, does anybody know if these plugs will work or has anybody had experience with these? Are they good bad or in between?

Don't have any experience with them. And don't know anybody that runs them on a nitrous setup. How big of a shot are your spraying?

Edit: Okay saw in your sig that your doing a 100 shot. I would go with NGK BR7EF plugs.http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...0&product=3469

with running a 100 shot i would recommend going to steps colder so that would be a 7. i've heard alot of people with nitrous setups with 100shot running the ngk br7ef and everything has worked just fine

a tr6 has proven to be "ok" for a bolton only/ 100 shot setup... Although a non projected tip br6ef would be a better choice... Then I would go with a br7ef if you plan on upping the shot to a 150.

I searched for about 20 minutes for ya and it appears that they are one step colder than stock. I still wouldn't run them because they are projected tip. Swap them for some non-projected tip NGK #6s to be safe. br6ef like kinglt-1 stated. The reason I wouldn't go to the 7 is based on your sig your car is pretty much stock. When adding an extra 100 hp you only need to take X amount of heat out of the cylinder, now if you already had cam, intake, LTs etc.. which would put you in the extra 100 hp over stock as is, then add the 100 shot which would put you at 200 hp over stock then I would go to 7s.
