Rep Power: 0 80 shot wet or dry.
Contrary to what ricer magazines say, iridium plugs are crap. Yes they will last longer in a stock car, so you don’t have to change them until every 100K miles or so, but they will MELT under nitrous and boost applications. Change them out for some NGK-BKR7Es, gap them to stock specs, and that should solve your problem.

Rep Power: 0 from the clubsi.com nitrous forum's spark plug thread:
we recommend ngk bkr7e
its a colder heat range then stock and have been proven to be the best for n2o in our cars "dyno tested"
Do you recommend Iridum plugs...
NO we do not iridum plugs from many many honda people that tried them and did NOT listen to us "they listened to hype" had them break when spraying and cause major engine problems
------------------------------------------
Do iridum plugs give me more horse power?
if your plugs were very dirty and worn before replacing then yes,, but so would other plugs but other plugs would last longer under spray
-----------------------------------
I see white spots on the plugs...
you are detonating you need to add more fuel or adjust the timing back "the second is prob better"
------------------------------------------
Do the plugs come gapped? what should they be gapped at?
They should come gapped but you should always check them "all the ones dave and i bought have been gapped".. they should be gapped at .038 unless you run after market ignition then you can bump it to .041
