Default Spark gap.. Friend thinks .32 Please advise.

A friend of mine is wondering where to gap his plugs. I'm saying around .38-.40.. I think if he goes .32 he'll end up fauling plugs and run much slower N/A.. Am I correct? This is his set up right now..

There is absolutely NO reason for him to gap that narrow. .038 would be PLENTY narrow enough.

I don't think he would foul any plugs with them gapped at .032 but it is possible that he might cost himself some power. I don't know of anyone who has tried it that narrow with an LS1. Like I said, there is no point in doing it.

I like to run about .040 gap. Works great for me. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

I'm going to be adding a 100 Dry shot with TR-6's and mods in sig. So my gap should be .06-.008 = .052? MTI suggested I run at .04? Thanks.

.040 would be good.
