Default What plugs to use with N20 on a LS1

Well, it looks like I will be buying the NOS Dry system for my car and I need to upgrade my spark plugs. I am only doing a 75 shot, really I am..

My only power mods now are a lid and cutout.

When you change your plugs for use with N20, don't you use a smaller gap? If so, will that hurt my N/A power and MPG???

So if anyone could, please post what plugs you are using or if they are in your sig, just post your sig...

Thanks,

Bill

I had TR-6's installed at Cartek for my nitrous system. They are working just fine. Nice solid spark, and no problems.

I am not sure of the make of them, but you can ask Cartek at cartek.net.

Thanks,

Dan

They say that your stock platinum plugs are good to go for up to a 100 shot, but dont always believe what you hear. I always ran Autolite 103's gapped at 40. In my opinion, the 103's work just as well, and will only cost you $8 rather then $25. Just my $0.02

Go with NGK Tr6's. They are no more than $2 each. Check the online vendors. They come pre-gapped at .035 and thats what I use. I saw no difference using them at .040. I had the autolite 103's for a week before I tossed those POS's. Car stumbled at idle and pinged with spray.
