Those will actually be complementary items. As the air is compressed by the supercharger, it heats up. Nitrous has a cooling effect to make the air more dense. So if it is a wet shot, you can pack more nitrous and fuel and air with everything working together.

Because when used with nitrous the platnum from the plugs come off. The plugs aren't made of platnum, they are only coated with it.

Huh? Platinum comes off?

Umm..no.

Platinum is great for their resistance to electrode erosion thus enabling most cars to go longer between sparkplug changes. They are *NOT* neccesarily able to provide a stronger spark. In actuality platinums typically need to be gapped larger then conventional plugs to create the same spark energy.

There are two types of platinum plugs as well: "Single Platinum" and "Double Platinum"

Single platinum plugs just have a platinum button on the tip of the electrode (maybe this button coming off is what you're referring to?), whereas the double platinums contain a solid-platinum center electrode.
