I thought nitrous made the burn cooler?

Might be confused there, but if you're melting plugs you're putting in to much NOS for the fuel, add more petrol.

Not a NOS expert but if you need more manly plugs try some of the uprated ones from the likes of blitz and hks etc, but make sure you get the right type and be prepared to open your wallet, my mate bought a set of 4 for his EVO, Ԛ£120!!
