ZEX Nitrous/FI spark plugs....thoughts?

This is a brand new in the box ZEX Turbo / Nitrous Spark Plugs (SET OF SIX).
C56-82003-6
ZEX™ engineers realized early on that factory style spark plug designs are very prone to detonation in nitrous and forced induction engines. Factory style spark plugs tend to have a high heat range and a long ground strap. This is fine for stock combustion pressures and temperatures, but it is very dangerous in a nitrous or forced induction performance engine. Under nitrous use or boost, factory style spark plugs tend to overheat in just a few seconds. This overheating causes the spark plug ground strap and center electrode to turn into a "glow plug". This condition causes air and fuel in the combustion chamber to pre-ignite and detonate, causing engine damage. ZEX™ is the only nitrous system manufacturer with specific spark plugs manufactured for the unique requirements that nitrous and forced induction engines have. ZEX™ Hyperformance Spark Plugs have an optimal heat range and ground strap design that maximizes the safety and performance of your nitrous or forced induction engine.
Why ZEX™ Hyperformance™ Spark Plugs outperform any other plug:
* Triple ground electrode for more efficient combustion
* Excellent heat dissipation for improve nitrous and turbo performance
* Pre-gapped for performance applications
* Super Range nickel ground electrode with copper core center
* Specifically designed and developed for nitrous and turbo applications
Of course this all sounds great, but has anybody used these yet? Besides being one step colder (I believe, although not sure), how would these affect NA performance?

This always puzzles me when I read it on the .org... I have purchased NGK coppers at virtually every parts store in my area. Not once have I had a place tell me they don't carry them. They are common as ****...
Might try a motorcycle shop, lots of bikes use NGKs.
