125HP = ~4* retard the timing, and run 91 octane minimum of course.

Maybe 1 heat range cooler, brand doesn't really matter. R44 or R43TS

How about trying whatever the N2O setup’s manufacturer recommends? For example, NX will recommend 1-2 heat ranges cooler plugs and no timing retard for that 125 shot… others recommend 1-2* retard for every 50hp… and they all use slightly different jetting for the same power level
