What plugs are recommended for your truck? You should go at least 1 step colder than what is recomended. And I wouldn't gap them more than .35. .45 seems a little much. 100 shot should be fine. Nitrous is hard on a motor no matter what, but as long as you do it properly you shouldn't have any problems. Especially with such low miles.

You don't really get any power from the alchohol injection alone. The benefit is it drastically cools the combustion chamber temps, allowing you to advance timing. On a forced induction motor this helps a lot because you normally have to retard a lot of timing to supress detonation and spark knock. Which robs a lot of power. With the alky injection you hardly have to retard any at all, gaining back a lot of that lost power. So your HP /per PSI ratio increases quite a bit.

One step colder than factory and gapped at 35. Just don't get greedy with the n20 and you can spray for a good while.
