I have the ngk iridium IX and they are supposed to be the stock heat range. However, I burned up a set of copper plugs in a day and they were the stock heat range. All I have is port work and milled head and the iridium are holding up fine. For nitrous, I would play it safe and choose a denso with the proper range. IK20 is stock I believe. I think you want ik22 which is a colder plug. Not sure tho.

I personally would not trust them because 1st off they're 6s and not 7s. Secondly, they have extended tips which typically are NOT recommended for nitrous applications. They might be ok for boost, but nitrous is a totally different ball game. I'd go with the ones I mentioned earlier and so would a lot of nitrous users that I know.
I think he recommended them because they don't contain platinum and the center electrode doesn't stick out too far. I got these plugs, but I need a nitrous refill before I can test them. The only thing I didn't like was that the plugs came w/ a .040 gap. I regapped them to .030 (not sure if it's ok to change the gap by so much, electrodes may not line up correctly).
The NGK bkr7e are pregapped smaller (.032 I think). If I run into trouble w/ the V-powers, I'll try these. BTW, bkr7e's are also cheap @$$ plugs, go figure.
