One step colder is always good to have for nitrous. For a second there, i looked at your blow down tube and thought to myself... "that kind of defeats the purpose" then i saw the hole lol. Nice set up though. Very clean! Dyno and numbers! then vids!

I know I have asked several of you about upgrading the spark plugs. I have yet to install them b/c well will our cars run fine on them even though I am not spraying all the time? The research that I have done on our plugs is they are pretty cold already. Input is greatly appreciated.
You won't notice any differences by going one step colder. My car drives fine off the bottle. Just check your plugs more often then normal

I'm the guy helping him with the install, what gap are you guys setting the plugs at? I know usually nitrous likes a smaller gap to keep from blowing the spark out.
