One step colder plug or 2???

So here goes, I think I want one step colder plug, but let me run this by you guys. I have a IX RS, all Buschur parts intake, exhaust, boost controller, and a custom flash, with these parts it went 11.9 @ 114.8. Its has cossi M2's, putting the M3's in. Going for a tune after the rest of the parts are on. I have a 50 shot of NO2, and an Aquamist HFS-5 system going in, stock turbo on meth its being set for 30psi. I also have a set of 720cc injectors. This is on a stock intercooler and piping for now until the check from Bush comes in, then it gets a Buschur Race cooler, lower pipe, and im now sure what im doing for a upper pipe yet. In all reality it should make arould 450whp with this setup maybe a lil more.

I know most of you guys arent to fond of the whole nitrous thing and for good reason. I've have done EVERYTHING that you can to make it as safe as possible. I have a ZEX kit. Bottle heater for consistant pressure, and an RPM Window switch so even if I miss a gear for some reason I won't hit the rev limiter on the juice. I even have a baller remote bottle opener.

Thanks in advance!

My first thought is to say stay with the stock plug because you are already cooling down the intake charge with the Meth, and then the N2O on top of that makes it cooler.

Well, if you tune has no detonation initially, then it shouldn't have it later on, as long as no parts go by the wayside, or you get a leak, or whatever, in short no problems. If you're using the plugs to band-aid potential detonation then problem . It's a fine line to walk between no detonation and optimum power.

Use at least one step colder plugs.

even with the cooled intake charge you will still see higher in cylinder temps from the increased power levels.
