Default Plug gap for nitrous

So ive heard that i should gap the plugs to .035 instead of the stock .054. The instruction i have don't specify, they do say to get 2 step colder plugs. My parts store only had 1 step colder plugs so i got those, so do i still gap them to .035 even though they are colder. By the way the nitrous kit is an NX with a 75hp shot. thanks for the help.

"I" wouldn't run Bosch. Get a set of NGK TR6 coppers and gap them at .038

That's what i wanted but my local parts store didn't sell ngk for my car, do you think i can still run these plugs as lon as i gap them down to .038?

And one more question, which i should probably have asked earlier, what is the point of puting a smaller gap when runnig nitrous?

You must be a nitrous noob...... .035 is the optimal gap for nitrous
