Default spark plug gap
Hey everyone,
I have a 383 Lt1 I'm my 97 camaro with a v1 (soon to be a v7 ysi) stock ported heads and intake, comp cam 305, msd coil and stock wires. I'm currently running the autolight 104 plugs with a .035 gap. Im trying to figure why the car cuts out when I get in the higher rpm ranges (4500) or and 7-8 psi. Is the plug gap too big and getting blown out? Could it be my stock wires? Thanks

The MAF/tune causes it to cut-out; it happened to me. I finally got a speed density tune and it's been great ever since. 0.035 gap is fine.
