That's really only when you start getting into larger shots. On a 100-150 it's not an issue

Hi LS-B, I would be more concerned about the Tune, how much Spark Retard with NOS ?
True, cam specs are safe. (250 Ex)

Have to verify through tuning but I'd still go down to a 6 or 7 range plug at 100 shot depending on how your motor is reacting to the spark and octane on spray.
