I believe the 71 's are non and the 72's are projected.

I agree the 9s are best,but if he's new to nos the 10s are safe.Plug gap 30 to 35 will work.
If you miss your tuneup, you can take a strap out on a 9 without damaging the pistons for the most part. If you do this with a 10, the piston will be hurt.

Mike...why is this? Is it just because your tuneup would have to be off more to lose the strap on a 10..or?

You are trying sneak up on lean and "Goldilocks" timing. Doent matter if its fuel, N20 or Alcohol. This applies in So Cal weather too, cant say about back east.
If you nick a 9 (over) the piston is generally ok.
If you nick a 10, the piston has some damage. This is from personal experience because it is such a cold plug.
If you miss it by a mile, it doesnt matter.
BTW, this is some other mis-information in this thread too. Do not run big plug gaps.
