Question Spark Plugs and Nitrous

I have about 66500 miles on my car and am going to change the spark plugs (which are stock) very soon. However, I plan to run a wet kit sometime in the future, which is whenever I have money (while being a poor college kid). My friend tells me I can't run plats with nitrous, but I dont want to put copper ones in right now because I'll just have to change them again. Would I be ok juicing the car with plats or should I hold off on changing them till the juice. I only ask because it is a real bitch to change damn LT1 plugs. Thanks for the *** backwards motor GM

DO NOT JUICE ON PLATINUMS!!!!!! i still have mine in but i dont spray often and there getting changed very very soon. i guess the platinums run hotter and if you spray it can blow the tip off the spark plug, leaving that little peice of metal to do all sorts of stuff to your cylinder walls!!

nitrous also causes an increase in temp inside the chamber, so the hotter plugs are a no go unless you want to melt the piston tops. copper plugs are fine for daily use, you dont think we are spraying 24/7 do you? run some ngk tr55 plugs and go. i know how you feel on the plug changing btw, try headers too

Tr55's are stock heat range plugs, for nitrous go with the NGK TR6 plugs, they are colder then stock.
