Hop on over to the nitrous forum. All of your question will be answered. Your first call should be to Nitro Dave's Nitrous Outlet. They have a great window switch and wide open throttle switch all-in one.

Good luck!

^^^^^^yall are both wrong.....a tr6 plug is not the right plug for the job being it is a projected tip style plug.

He would be fine using a tr6 plug, people have been doing it for years. However, you are right, it is not optimal. People these days seem to be using the BR6EF's.

OP, read up in the Nitrous Section. You will be glad you did. Spend a couple of hours reading about how to make a safe, entry level set up.

Been shooting 150 wet shot to my truck for over a year now and run the TR6's the whole time haven't had any problems. For sure get a window switch and pull some timing, my tuner advises 4 degrees, just to be safe, on my shot, but figure about 1 degree for every 50 hp shot, at least. I may be telling you things you already know but want to make sure. I have the Nitro Daves window switch mentioned above and it works great, they have awesome customer service also, highly recommend them.
