Default Right gap for plugs?

So what is the proper gap I should have for my 2000 C5 Vette? I hear 35 to 60? Im running mostly stock stuff (No cam or headers) I just bought the new MSD wires and NKG plugs. Any ideas?
Thanks.

It should say on the white catalyst sticker in your engine bay. Most likely .060", thats what it has been on every stocker Ive seen.

The responses above sound about right. Your question is an important one, but is probably better suited for the "External Engine" section in the future. Best O' luck!
