i have a 2001 SE 5-speed i just got a nitrous kit off my friends only gonna run a 50 shot for now street use and a 75 track and dyno... with either of those should i buy new spark plugs? I read about people using copper spark plugs. also what should i adjust my timing to??

As long as they're one step colder the only difference is iridiums last longer right?
Ya, a lot longer. Mine are 2 steps colder and I run them N/A as well because I am too lazy to swap them all the time and I ran my record N/A time with them. Have also ran a 200 shot with no problem.
Not 100% sure, but the iridium plugs get hotter. The tips can burn off easier.
The fastest maxima is using iriduims, so they must work.
I've melted tips off of several iridium plugs in my 3.0 - that's why I quit using them.. looked like melting candles. Dunno why, either, although the ground straps would sometimes be damaged. After I went to cutting back the ground straps and used copper-core plugs, the plug problems were much less. Still can't run too lean, though.
iridiums are not that bad for small shots but DO NOT use platinum plugs as the platinum and the nitrous has a bad chemical reaction and can burn holes in pistons. i just got rid of my 94 Lincoln Mark VIII and i ran auto light copper plugs in it with a 100 dry on it and it took it fine.
So, what was it like running the Lincoln on that much nitrous???
I've run iridiums the last two years, no problems at all. Just have to keep any eye on the like any other spark plug when using nitrous.. It's all personal prefrence though. Either way good luck..
