Default Nitrous spark plugs?!?

Have been searching for the past hour on the site can't find a specific answer since everyone has different opinions of course. What I need is a specific answer from people who HAVE or ARE using nitrous 100 shot and up. These are the last part I need to get my setup done and I'd like to order them today

Right now, tuned on a 80whp. I got held up while tuning for the 100whp, but I don't think the plugs I'm using will be an issue. I'm gonna keep using the NGK 7173 plugs. If you want, the NGK 7405 plugs will be the same thing, but a heat range 9 instead of heat range 8 like the 7173 plugs are. You will fowl the 7405 plugs out quicker though.

The 7173 plugs? They last a long time. I change em more often if I spray more just to check on things. I used the 7173 plugs when I wasn't spraying and they'd last a long time still. I never fowled one so I can't say how long they could last. Definitely longer than a couple of oil changes.

do you think a heat range of 9 will help deter detonation better ( one would think so ) but will it take away from the n/a power any other time? What gapping do you recommend with the 7173's?

Do a 100 shot pull with the number 8s and see what they look like. I think they will hold the heat with a 100 shot.

I'm doing that...prob 2 steps colder I think for safety if they foul quickly...I'll move to 1 step colder...will this affect my tune if I get it tuned for 2 step colder and switch back to 1 step colder?
