What will happen if I stick w/the ACDelco plat plugs on a 75 or 100 wet shot?

If you stick with the platinum plugs on nitrous,you will melt the platinum off the plugs and go from stock gap,to twice the stock gap.
DO NOT use platinum plugs,dont have to go colder. But each car is different.

Definetly don't use platinum plugs. http://web.camaross.com/bb/eek.gif If you go 1 or 2 heat ranges cooler it shouldn't affect you NA. I run 2 heat ranges cooler and my car runs great NA and on the dope. http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

I would change the plugs as well, i run regular delcos at the moment, but im changing to NGK TR-6's when i put my headers on(a month or so). However, if you spray 75 on stock plugs you shouldn't have a problem, because its the ignition/ntrous combo that screws you. itll melt the electrode right off, but the stock ignition isnt hot enough to do that, unless your case is extreme.

FWIW..I am running a 125hp shot on my internally stock LT1 with lots of bolt ons and REGULAR SPLITFIRE PLUGS. Stock heatrange, just gapped smaller and have never had a problem through 80lbs of nitrous.
