Use Autolite 23's gapped at 35 only when you are spraying. Swap back to your normal plugs when you're not spraying.

Any Chance i could Use NGK UR5 (gaped .035) when spraying the 100 shot NOS with 4 degrees Retard?

The UR5 shows all the proper measurements & is one heat range colder than their stock replacement UR45 plug. On a 100 shot 1 step colder at .35" gap with 4 degrees of timing retard should be okay on a minimum of 93 octane. If you plan on spraying more than 100 & are set on NGK plugs, go with the UR6.

It's nitrous oxide, NOS is a brand, just like you wouldn't "run a 100 shot of zex" not to be a dick about it
