Default F#!$%* detonation HELP!!!!

I am running a 75 shot dry Zex kit, retared timing to 14BTDC using 1 step colder plugs Autolite 3923 is the plug. Car runs fine no problems untill I use the nitrous. Then it melts the ground strap on the plug. What am I doing wrong here and what can I do to stop it? Maybe B&M Adj. FPR? Should I go for 2 step colder plugs? Autolite junk? Help me out.

My clutch slips horribly when I hit the nitrous could I possibly be mech. over-revving the engine? I have a new clutch disc... should I put just a new disc in?

go with 1 step colder NGK not autolite junk and gap it to 30 thousand that should fix it.

before you use nitrous you should always make sure ur car is in good shape so it would be a very good idea to replace your clutch if it is slipping. Whats the point of using it anyway if you clutch just slips?

get a few more sets of plugs and a wideband o2. sounds like you're leaning out and the plugs are eating it before anything else has a chance to.

more fuel to the fire.
