.035 is what you should gap them at. For plugs the Autolite 23's are good, but the 24's will still work fine spraying a 100. Try first setting your base timing at 10 degrees, make a pass and check ALL of the plugs. I was spraying 150 with my base timing at 12-13 degrees with no problems. I even sprayed for a while at 15 degrees, but the car was no faster so I played it safe and backed the timing off a little.

I think you will see that nitrous and street tires don't mix very well. It will get downright annoying. You will probably run only a few tenths faster, but pick up 8-10 mph.
