    You will want NGK TR6 plugs.

          does it feel like a mis or revlimter or does it "POP" or crackle?

          mis or revlimiter mean your gap could be to big.

          POP or crackle means a lean condition = bad

          a ping or loss of power after the event meand pre-ignition =bad

          check your plugs what do they look like?

            the reason that most people will tell you to switch to colder plugs when you install a power adder is that the extra cylinder pressures, and consequently the added temperature, can melt the ground strap on the stock plugs. I've found that bosh platinum plus 4s work very well with nithrous because of the extremly short ground straps, and not having to gap the plugs

              NEVER, DO NOT use platinum plugs with NOS!!!!!!!!!

              NGK TR6 are perfect.
              the melting is not the reason for colder heat ranges, the reson is the tip of the plug does not cool fast enought and when the intake vavle opens the new air fuel mix hits the hot tip and pre-ignites.... THAT cuase the plugs to melt....

              and after so many time the motor goes BOOM

                      They are easily bought for $2.25. Not hard to get.
