I guess to use Nitrous you should go with copper plugs that are 1-2 heat ranges colder, right? Well how does this affect throttle response when your not using the nitrous but want heavy acceleration? A few people I've talked to that stay all motor said they've been using NGK iridium plugs, but for Nitrous I need some info please.
What are you guys using?

I run my colder plugs all of the time. Throttle response is different, but mainly because my timing is retarded 2 degrees. All and all it isn't bad enough for me to care.

That's what I run. Don't get Zex plugs, don't run platinum or iridium. Only copper for nitrous. |

So, do you have good results when you're not using nitrous?

Well the plug is a stage or two colder and the timing is retarded so its a little slugish but not that bad.

It's fine with stock timing, the retarded timing is what will make your car a little sluggish.
