I need help choosing spark plugs

My new engine is just about finished, so I am trying to get everything I will need to get it together and installed in the car. I need help choosing a Spark plug brand and plug. The car is will run NA til the bugs are worked out and final NA tuning is done, however I have an 75-150 nitrous kit on the car as well. I want a plug that I can use for both if possible. Its a 355 w/ 11.7 compression ratio, worked LT1 castings, ported LT1 intake, full bolt ons, E/WP, Mallory 685 ignition, MSD coil. What would you recomend?

ngk tr6's are good for high compression and especially boosted or sprayed motors.

Re: I need help choosing spark plugs

I'd do a search on those rapid fires and get a couple of other opinions... Personally, I'd never put another set in my LT1 (or any other engine for that matter).
