plugs?

my mtr feels hella sluggish and much slower. I just used nitrous for the 1st time about 4 days ago and i still have the stock spark plugs. My very first time i used nitrous it was on 87 octane with a 50 shot. Yes i know very bad but the track didnt open the race gas shop yet. Then the rest of the bottle i used was with 2 gallons of 103 or 106 (forgot) mixed with about 3 gallons of the rest of the 87 octane. I still had a lil nitrous yet but my mtr was acting up so i stopped and now i was wondering if my mtr is still fine. I just ordered zex plugs which are pregapped and two step colder then stock and was wondering would this fix my problem. I also was wondering what type of oil i should use for my next oil change (royal purple)? Do u guys think my mtr is still alright? Thanks again

go to your tuner. try iridium plugs, i don't know whats colder than that. why worry about oil? do you think the turbo is sucking some oil into it? just wondering good luck.

I must have missed something , i dont see where he said he ahd a turbo?

Problem could one of a million different things. Id suggest making sure the No2 solenoids arent leaking , and maybe check your spark plugs for color to see if lean or rich condition and go from there.

get Denso IK 22 or IK24 iridiums
or
NGK BK7ER or BK9ER Iridiums
OR
if you dont wanna spend $50 on plugs, you can get the
autolite AR-3934 or AR-3932 copper plugs.

The coppers are about $2. each. They are a race plug, and work great. I may like them better than the iridiums.
