COMMENTS
Infinite under Dickson's conjecture. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 06 2011]
No n can be a multiple of 3. If it is 1 mod 3, it cannot end in 3 or 8. If it is 2 mod 3, it cannot end in 1 or 6. One can see the potential of iterative chains producing primes.
EXAMPLE
For n=37, 4*37+3=151 and 16*37+15=607.
