TR6 vs. TR55 vs. Internet Myth
Probably a little. If the gap is too small the spark duration will be too small as well, giving less ignition exposure. Higher HP or boosted cars, etc. That would be a good gap for a better precision spark and to avoid high rpm detonation, but for this car it's a bit too narrow. It certainly won't speak for the huge difference in times he's talking about, but a slightly larger gap would be more optimal and may even cure some of the sluggishness under normal acceleration.
Something is not right beyond the plugs though. I would recommend increasing the gap though next time they are pulled.

Hey Cliff, I have to call 
Greg and I watched it run 10.59 both mornings and I know you aren't lying. My question is if it did have a dead hole or bad plug or was misfiring wouldn't it at least throw a p0300... code? BTW I was nice to meet you and the Mrs. tell her we said hey.

I hear you Mike. Yes it should throw a code for misfire if it is a dead miss. It may not catch it if it is intermittent or inconsistently firing as I do have misfire detection desensitized(This is due to the cam causing idle misfire codes). All 8 plugs had a nice even consistent color, which to me rules out a miss. The next time I go to the track I will bring the TR6's I pulled out and a new set to do some back to back testing.
It was nice to meet you guys as well. Hope the phones are taking it easy on both of you!
