Colder plugs with hybrid..?
I was wondering if colder range plugs should be used with a hybrid turbo? I was looking at Nitrous Express kit and they recommended colder plugs for that. That was suppsoe to give about a 100 extra HP and so does the hybrid so any ideas..? If anyone reads this that is running a hybrid what have you found out?

Four sure.
Also, consider platinum leading.

I have not heard that.

Is there a reason?

Platinums tend to retain more heat at the electrode.. Ask RETED, he gave some other reasons too.

Yes, the higher the number, the 'colder' the plug.
