Default gapping Iridium plugs.. yes or no?

I have a new set of TR7ix plugs I am getting ready to thread in and I started to grab my gapping tool and then decided I better check on this some.. they are set right now at .035" from the factory and NGK says NOT to gap them unless you need to and then only to gap them using a gapper that does not make contact with the iridium tip due to its extremely thin layer. I will be running around 20 psi max and with the autolite 104's gapped at .030" I was not seeing any negative effects up to 18psi... what would you guys running these recommend?

thanks in advance!

going once, going twice..... still no answers? no one is running these plugs and has done soem experimenting yet? man I hate being the guineau pig.. guess I will try tham at the factory set .035" and hope the added voltage they fire and the colder heat range will keep the spark from blowing out. I will report back after the track tomorrow night!
