Default cam/stall/spray what gap?

i'm runing a dyno tune dry kit on my z and i put a set of colder plugs in and they were gapped at stock gap. im running a fm 14 on 114 lsa with a yank 3600 stall and 4.10 gears, 28" m/t slicks and i was wondering if i could gap the plugs around 42-45 for the all motor runs and still spray it with out having problems. i'm only looking to spray a 50/75 shot before i have a dyno tune, because right now its just mail tuned for the cam.

What plugs are they? Some of the non-projected tip'ed plugs don't like too much gap.

.035 is as high as I would go on the jug.

IF they are the TR6 plugs i'd go no higher than a .38 gap but it would be better to gap the plugs around the 33-35 range.

You can run TR6's gapped at .035 all the time.

After seeing some of the pics of tr-6 becoming blow torches I run these: 7 NGK 3346 BR7EF Non-Projected 2 steps colder w/ NON-projected tip
Gapped at 28 with between 100-150 shot. 408 with 11.25 compression.
No problems running them on the street, no idle problems either.

How much ET off the bottle do you think you would be giving up running on plugs for nitrous?
