I have heard that NGK-TR6 plugs work awesome with nitrous

One step colder than for an NA application.

For that size shot, one step colder plugs will work great. Also, a copper conductor plug is also what you want to shoot for as well. Both the NGK TR-6s and Autolite 104s fall in this category.

.038 gap is enough. the stock gap is .060 isn't it?

IIRC, the factory gap is .058-.060... I haven't run anything but the TR6s for years.

With nitrous, a tighter gap is recommended over the stock setting.
