Default MSD Digital-6 Question

Hi everyone, Im getting ready to install an MSD Digital-6+ ignition on my car. My question is since the ignition throws such a strong spark should I have the plugs gapped more than stock, and if so how much more. I already have the Blaster TFI coil and 8.5mm wires. My plugs are the Bosch platinums. Also, I will be using the nitrous retard on this ignition. So whats a good setting on the box to start out with and should I set the timing back to 10 degrees before shooting a 75 shot wet. One last thing, how much colder of a plug should I run than stock plugs with this much of a shot?
THANKS.......

I'm running 2 steps colder as directed from Zex. Seems to work fine. I've been told by a dozen people we aren't suppose to use Nitrous and Bosch Platinums.... I have double Platinum Bosches in mine... and have for a year. It might be part of my pinging problem, but who knows as it's random as hell. My plugs don't change.... but maybe the quality of gas in KS does.

Anyone enlighten me about Platimum plugs?

BTW - 75 shot shouldn't hurt you too much. The recommendations for timing drop is a few degrees from what you are currently running without pinging... not from the stock setting. But you might drop your timing down 2 degrees from what you are currently running for safety sake. If you have no detontation... then take it back up and test it.
