Plug gap - whats best for me? as the title says. I've got NGK TR55's but now im running heads/cam/stall all the goodies yak yak yak. no nitrous though. would the 55 gap be fine, or should it be closed some? Say 50 or maybe 45

i always heard that the more mods you've done to make the gap sequentially smaller. i "believe" it was something like an extra .005 less for every extra 50 rwhp? so if you're making 400 rwhp you should lower the gap from .055 to .045?

I would imagine with these wires you could run a larger gap... correct?

Thats what I run, TR6 .036 gap. But since he has no intention of ever spraying I would stick with the 55's gapped at .040-.045

Mine are somewhere between .036-.038 I can't remember exactly. I've had TR6s in mine since Feb. but haven't sprayed it yet and she's been running great. I've only got two and a half more months before she's sprayed for the first time
