Changing Spark Plugs w Nitrous

How often do you guys change your plugs? Going on 2 months here and 2 refills on the 10lb bottle using TR6's.

The passenger side plugs are a PITA. I haven't put my TR6's in yet, they're going in tomorrow, then the track that night. I'll probably change them with the oil from now on though.

Some of ya'll need to start hitting the gym if you can change plug #8, even with LTs. Get some meat on those bones! (Unless you removed your A/C and/or other crap.)

I'm doing my Tr6s today and can't decide on the gap. I'm running a 125 dry shot through a descreened MAF and I've got a lid and cutout with some free mods. What do you guys think? .038?

I don't know about 50k, but a small shot on a street/strip car can cerntainly go longer than everytime to the track. I have with no issues.
Gap on the smaller shots about 38.
