that should be a runner that's for sure. I would start with a gap around .028. What ignition are your gone to be running.

You'll definitely need a hotter ignition system. I wonder if Kenne Bell makes a boost a spark for your application. Their boost a pump has been trouble free on my car with the stock fuel pump and its 109,xxx miles.

We run our high boost apps on .028-.032 to cut down on spark blow out......
