No, not a reason to gap them if your tuneup is right, almost all the fast stock shortblock guys don't open up the gap on them.

Not really, was just driving it and recently pulled it down to redo some stuff on it for this year, going to run the dual fuel(so can drive on 87 octane), add p/s back to it, new a/c lines, etc etc. I'll run it mostly on true radials this year and just keep having fun with it.

Still wishing I could see some pics of that turbo and how it's hidden. So sneaky with that air filter haha.

Just saw the replies, we put most of the setup in maxxmitchell's 3rd gen firebird for this year. I picked up a fox that we built for some true radial racing(9.56 at 159 on some mud/snow tires so far). The ltd just sits right now, I'll get motivation to mess with it later this year, been having too much fun with the mustang.
