It depends on how much boost you run. You want it just enough that you don't get any spark blowout. I think I have mine gapped at .038.

The max boost is 10psi. I'll talk to the folks who dyno my car what ever it was set at on the last ones was good all the way to full boost. Thanks

Is there a special gapping tool for the spark plugs? Or can I just use my regulator one
