Default LT1 guys with AFR heads. What plugs for nitrous?

I am using a NGK R5671a-8 (4554) (gasket type) supposed to be 3 steps colder. I have also used the BKR 7 E (2 step colder). What are you guys using?

The AR51 is a gasket type plug. Check it out.
Just make sure the reach is correct in your heads.
The AR51 isn't a step or two colder, it's pretty much the bottom of the barrel. I can tell you that they will take a hard beating.
The only downside is that they foul quickly under street driving conditions, so you have to pull them and clean them fairly often.

NGK Plug Reference

14mm, 3/4" Reach, 5/8" Hex Head

From Hottest to Coldest:

R5671A-7 - Stock Number 4091
R5671A-8 - Stock Number 4554
R5671A-9 - Stock Number 5238
R5671A-10 - Stock Number 5820
R5671A-11 - Stock Number 6596

I am running the -8s myself. I want to say I was told the -9 should be cold enough for a 300 shot, but I may be thinking of a -10.
