I was thinking .022....I'm new to the LS world and not sure if that is too small of a gap or not.

We have run it as low as .016 in WhiteLTone's car, generally I like them from .020-.025..

I'd start out where Stroker and WhiteLtone run theirs around .022-.024.

LS coils have a pretty hot spark for what they are and can tolerate a tight gap.

Remember, bigger gap on the spark plug does *NOT* equal a hotter or stronger spark. All you are doing is spreading out the spark thus making it weaker, especially when adding added cylinder pressure to the mix.

Just food for thought.
