best plugs for nitrous?

I was wondering what the best plugs were for a 65 shot of ZEX nitrous? (dry shot) I've heard that colder NGK's would work, and i've also heard that the denso iridium plugs were good. But I don't wanna spend $70 on plugs. I just wanted to see what the other nitrous users on this board were using, and how they liked their plugs. any help would be apreciated...thanks. -Jon

no nitrous personally, but from reading, most people go with 1 step or even 2 step colder ngk's....you might wanna search for quicker responses

this is what i could find, relates to boosted maxs, but hey, nitrous is boost too right?

Q: What kind of plugs do you run?
A: NGK coppers 2-step colder.

Q: What gap?
A: Stock right now, but you are supposed to reduce the gap by 0.004 for every 50HP increase.

also, take a look at this thread...

What about the ZEX plugs??? 2 steps colder copper and designed for turbos and nitrous. Seemed like the answer to me so I bought them and I am currently using them.

For a 65-shot, one step colder plugs is good enough...keep this in mind, you will lose some N/A power with colder plugs...but you will lose even more with two step colder plugs.
