Platinum plugs run too hot....you need to get colder ones like the ones listed above. Also, I believe the Bosch are gapped too high (.50 I think) I think with N2O they need to be gapped at .35......

Gap it anyway you want

The only big thing about N20 gapping is that you need to make sure the spark doesnt get snuffed out, So after market spark amplifier such as MSD, or Crane coupled with a better coil, wires, and NGK's will make sure you can run a fat spark and ensure relaiblity.

Never use platinum plugs on a nitrous-fed engine. Platinum plugs run too hot and can promote detonation, as they are self-cleaning. Also stay away from any plug that has a projected tip. Too much plug in the head, and you can lose an electrode.
