Default Misfiring! Need Help!

I have NGK TR6 plugs with MSD wiring and the plugs are gapped at .035.I have a 6psi PD supercharger on it. When i started it up i keeps getting misfires. Is the gap ok for this setup or do i need to change it and if so what to? Do i need to program it so i can run the plugs at these gap? need HELP!

Mods:
Hookers LTH and Y pipe
SLP loudmouth Exhaust
Powerdyne 6psi Supercharger

That's the same plug and gap I had on my PD setup with no issues. It is probably something else.

I'm having the same prob with cylinder #7. I'm going to check the plug wire, plug, and coil for proper spark. I don't know if your misfire is just on one cylinder or all of them but it might be some things to check out. ???

#7 is usually the first cylinder to let go so be prepared for the worse guys.

Also .035 is a little tight for only 6psi, I'd open the gap up to .040

Hah, that's funny. I don't think any one cylinder is typical of "letting go" but I've never had an engine go bad so I'll keep you posted. I'll be prepared for a plug wire or a rocker arm at worst.

I have seen misfire directly relate to the cylinders that had cracked ringlands.

I've heard #7 seems to lean out first due to manifold design.

Or maybe it is crank/TQ related?
