#26218, "Please I need a quick reply. (plugs)"


          

I know most people change to 1 range colder plugs for nitrous, and if you're staying NA then you go one range hotter. I plan on getting nitrous in the late summer. I was wonderign if I put one range COLDER plugs in prep for n2o, will my performance suffer right now until I actually get the nitrous, or will I not even feel the difference? Thanks.


Oh yeah, what do you need to gap them at with nitrous? And if I won't feel a difference with one range colder running NA for now, should I gap them like if I had nitrous or what? SOrry for the long post.

Go ahead and put the colder plugs. It won't hurt now even without NOS. To be safe, gap them smaller maybe around 0.036" or so.

I think 0.036" is good for nitrous. Just leave it at that. It will be fine for your stock motor too.
