I would do a non projected tip plug probably a 8 and go from there. A tr6 is a projected tip plug and is def not something I would trust at higher levels.

What is the static compression ratio?

If it's stock compression you might be able to get away with a B8EFS, but if it's been raised any over stock I'd go with a B9EFS. If you're running pump fuel on stock compression I'd also want to see you use a B9EFS, if you're going to run strictly race gas on stock compression with that amount of nitrous you could again probably get away with a B8EFS.

On a 150 shot I'd run a BR7EFS.

We ran tr6 plugs on a 150 shot at about 11.1 compression....we ended up going with br7efs
Now that we are only going with 200 shot....any suggestions on gap....thanks..

If you're going to use a 200 shot use a B8EFS.

250 or over I'd highly consider a B9EFS although you could probably get by on the B8EFS on a 250.

Agree with this post. As long as you can keep a 9 clean, run it.
