Default PLUG QUESTION???

Alright i install a nx wet kit about a month ago and i just put a 50 shot in it just to get used to it on stock plugs and didnt need to retard timing. but today i plan on putting the 100 jets in i was wondering if i would need a colder plug and if so which one? also im goin to retard the timing 2 degrees should that be enough?

I like the NGK TR6 plugs, I would put them in just to be on the safe side even though some will say it's not 100% needed on just a 100 shot. They are fine to daily drive on as well.

yeah you can never be too safe, but personally i use stock plugs on 100 shot, gapped at .040" and if it's cool run 14* initial timing on 93 octane

so, if your 100% sure you didn't lean out on the 50, 2* is fine, but if you never read your plugs after a nitrous run, or it was cooler out than now (considerably different like 20*)
might wanna back off 4*

14* timing is a little cutting edge, not really worth the risk unless your certain your out of danger.
only way to tell is by mph at the track, or reading your plugs

cool, you don't always hear sparkknock, but it will show on the plugs.

and you will melt a plug b4 burning a piston, but not a lot of time in between if you get super lean on the spray.
