Default tr6 tr55 question

ill be installing the 150 nx kit this week.i was wondering if any of you noticed a difference in power or idle since the tr6 is colder? i noticed that i had slightly better throttle response when i changed my o.e plugs to thr tr55's
any one have any input on this?

i also need to put on some new plug wires im considering the msd's,however from the ones i've seen the boot seems very close to the headers has anyone had any heat issues with these wires? if so i might just go with accel 300+ extreme heat wires?

I put tr6s in my car last week to run nitrous and noticed that the idle is kinda rough.Could be related to the smaller gap required for the nitrous,not sure.I took out 6 month old tr5s that I never had any rough idle with.

that rough idle was what i was worried about what did you set your gap at?
was there any noticeable power loss with the colder tr6?

i went from 1 year old tr55s gapped at .060 to tr6s gapped at .038, no idle change, no change in performance.
