Default Should I use TR6 plugs

I have about 425hp on motor and want to spray a 150shot. Right now I have platinum plugs. Are TR6 copper plugs a good choice, and is .035 a good gap?

No dude. Those are not the plugs you want.
You want a non-projected plug. There are a couple different ones out there, but a BR7 would be a good choice.
It kinda sounds like your just feeling things out right now regarding nitrous.
And on this forum, your going to get a number of different answers that will more then likely confuse you.
My recomendation would be to call one of our nitrous specific sponser's on this site, and talk to them about what your plans are.
I, myself, have been using nitrous outlet for years now, and could not be more satisfied.

No because you have the OP here that has a member date that is a year more than you and has as twice as many posts as you yet, you know correct plug to use and he doesn't . It seems like we answer this same question every 3 days about plugs and a br7ef will pretty much cover anything up to a 200 shot.So I'm just saying the OP looks like he is stirring up **** by asking to use a tr6 plugwhen he has been here longer than me or you.

You may be right, or it could be that he that he is totally new to nitrous and was unaware of how often this question comes up.
I am clueless when it comes to anything to do with forced induction, so I would probably be in the same boat if I were asking questions in that area.

Yes true, but it takes about a 5 minute search to know pretty much what the FI guys are doing and what setup is needed to do whatever.

I definitely was not trying to start any trouble. I guess it was just a noob mistake on my part. Thanks to those that did answer my question.

This is the first I have ran nitrous in about 8 years and for some reason I thought I had TR6's last time, but really it has been so long that I forgot, so I may have been running something else. I blew the stock engine and went with a forged bottom end and have been running NA ever since. I recently lost my trans which had a PT4400 stall in it and decided to go with a more nitrous converter a SS3800. Thought I'd put the nitrous back on again as I had planned when building this engine. The last set up I had was a fogger nozzle 150 shot on cam only on a nitrous tune. Now I have heads cam 90/90 and want to spray it again with a plate this time and an ignition controller. I have been trying to figure out every thing I need to put it back on.

So from what I gather from the answers, I can use a br7, br7ef, or br7efs gapped at .030-.032

I'm sorry for jacking up you thread OP but it seems like we get them every couple of days and after awhile it gets tiring answering the same thing over and over. Sometimes a person will post a thread and a thread asking the same question is on the same page. Just a little search for 5 minutes can answer most questions on here.

Again, sorry for being a dick.
