Default Spark plugs and nitrous

I just recently added nitrous to my truck ( 75 shot ). That same day i also changed my spark plugs. This was about a month ago. My question is after how many oil changes do you think i should change those spark plugs to avoid the you know what.

I also dont use the nitrous much.

Wat do you think?

Check them every 10,000 miles. Change them out when they start losing their gapping.
How's that N20 working for you?

Thats what i was thinking maybe evey 3 oil changes just change them and thats it. With the nitrous it just jumps off the line as long as you can get some traction ( definetly a problem with stock tires ) and when its rolling the miles per hour fly. Moves good for a truck lol. I spent $425 on the kit installed and everything the bottle fill is $28. But im in miami, fl. Im sure it varies by place.

Im thinking of going with the 4.10 gears but im worried about mpg i do about 25 miles a day on the highway. I have the stock 3.55 ls now.

Do you think that 4.10 will kill to much mpg?

You'll get good at changing them!
I have 4.10s and the highest mpg I've seen is 18, If I get above 14 I'm super happy. City mileage is around 10....
