It makes a slight difference with how your car is tuned, but .038 should work fine.

.036 for me. Stock timing, 150 wet on 93 octane. No KR while spraying.

Gap is only shortened as a preventative method to illiminate plug "blow off" under extreme cylinder pressures and therefore missfires.
Anything up to 150 should be between .038>.042
I gapped mine .040

I have mine gapped at .040 and have a slight surging feel while I'm spraying sometimes (TNT F1). I thought it might be from "blow off", but if people have run with the stock gap without a problem I'm guessing thats not my issue.
