just installed a zex nitrous system on my 87 stang, im planning to run the 125 shot but dont know what plugs are the best to use with this setup.
also, besides retarding the timing and cooler plugs are there any other tune ups needed to run the 125 shot of nitrous?
any input would help/ thanks yall

A good ign system is a plus! 125 is a big shot, maybe go with a 100.
