Question nitrous newbie spark plug ?

i am running tr6 spark plugs with a .035 gap and was wondering if its ok to run them all the time?should i put them in only when im gonna hit the bottle?cause ?im not runnin the kit for a little bit yet.i want to get track times off the other mods i did first.should i put in the tr5 for now then switch when im gonna run with the nitrous?considering the stock gap for these cars is .060 and im runnin with .035 seems like it would cause a spark knock or something.am i wrong?ur input would be appreciated.thanks in advance

I just put some autolites 103's @ .035 and my car wants to die @ idle now.I guess I'll try and raise the idle alittle.Besides having to give it some gas @ stop light it seems to still run strong!
