Default Confusion on Nitrous spark plugs?

Hey guys, in the near future (2-4 months) i plan on trying out a dry 100 shot zex kit with all the safety bells and whistles. But the only thing that has my in a brain fart is running colder plugs with a smaller gaps. My 94 is my daily driver and will soon have a gt-40/exploder heads and intake along with an f303 cam. Running colder plugs along with it being at a smaller gap would play with firing during normal driving would it not? Enlighten me

with a 100 shot you'd be OK with about a .042 gap and that isn't gonna hurt you for daily driving same goes for the colder range plug when your not on the squeeze! You gotta compromise or you'll be changing plug gap every week, haha!

Just reduce the gap to .045. You should have a 32 heat range plug anyway.

Good idea also to change plugs once a year regardless. Plus you can read what the plugs look like to see how she is running.
