Default Did I gap my spark plugs right, pipe expanding?

I'm in the process of changing my headers right now and I just changed the spark plugs while everything was out. I put in some NGK TR55 V-Power's. The gap was very close to .055 when they came out of the box, it was probably about .056, just barely bigger at all, but I gapped all of them to .055 because I seemed to remember someone saying .050-.055 on here and i figured it was probably better to go .001 than .005, sooo anyway, is that right? lol. Thanks

I have mine at .050 so you are in the range where you want to be.

I did not mess with mine this time...takes to long for me to gap them all so I just put them in.

Technically you can run them out of the box.

awesome, thanks . Now I need to start putting stuff in today, everything is out, now I have to put all the new stuff in :-P. Only one problem, I can't get the front peice of the Y-pipe onto the pass. side header. lol. the rear end of the header was slightly bent when I got it and its bent back to normal now, but I can still only barely get the Y-pipe on with a lot of work and I seriously doubt I could get it on under the car. I heard Auto Zone has a pipe expander that they let people use, is that true? How does that work? Do you rent it or what? And if I heard wrong and it wasn't them then who has it? Thanks.
