Default Need an answer QUICK PLEASE :)

Is it better to gap my NGK's at .50 as opposed to .59?

Many track guys down here say you benefit more on N/A cars . . . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I've always used .050", but it really makes NO difference in performance. Stock is .055"

I always use TR6s gapped at .045 just to be on the safer side.
