Need Plug Gap advice New NGK TR55IX plugs arrived today and I want to be sure to set them correctly this time. Last time I only had the 85MM MAF and RAM AIR at the time so I set it at a conservative .58MM gap.
Given my info (below) now with Pacesetter LT and few minor bolt-on's can anyone suggest the appropriate gap settings (.55, .52, .50)??? If it helps I have an HP Tuner order pending.
Much appreciated.

I have the same plugs, they are gapped at .050, and work great! I would leave 'em alone since you run the risk of damaging the electrode since its so incredibly small. The pre-set gap is perfect for your mods.

Thanks for the advice. I believe the factor for the iridium (IX) was .55 and the standard TR55 is .60. I'll probably stick w/ .55 given the advice.
