Default should I spray the 200 shot

Ok guys had the car tuned a couple weeks ago. It has the regular bolt ons the stock heads have a nice port n polish job on them, small lunati cam 221/224, already has forged Wiseco pistons arp rod bolts. I also have a stand alone harrisspeed works fuel system and the nx plate kit. The tuner went ahead and pulled out enough timing for the 200 shot just not for sure if I should try it, everything is fine on the 150. I also have a wideband in the car so I can keep an I on that. I currently have the NGK TR6 gapped at .35 should I go one step colder or are these alright. I don't spin the motor much pass 6250 and I am thinking about moving the the on rpm up around 3800 instead of 3000. Also the car put down 534hp on a dynamics dyno, the tuner said it reads about 10% off from a dyno jet.

Change the plugs if you want, but I've got a ton of runs on TR6's with a 200 shot. Never had a problem.

I'd spray it. The rods may hate you; but I'd say with a good tune, all will be well. Good luck!

if you have a forged bottom end and timimg is pulled why are you even asking. tr6's are fine. spry it and watch the a/f. to be safe it should be around 11.2-11.7 on a 200 shot.

It sounds like I just need to go ahead and spray the 200.

Do you guys think the stand alone fuel system with the 110oct and then all I can get at the pump is 91 should this be alright for the 200 shot or do I need to get some better fuel in the tank also.

It should be fine. I'd use higher octane and maybe bump the hit up to 3500 or so. Keep an eye on your A/F and make sure there's no knock. That's my plan of attack for this year at least.
