I ran .05 on my 6.5 psi turbo setup, and even with the msd i was blowing out the spark. I went down to .025 and it ran like a champ.

.028 to start, if it blows out or misses go smaller. if not you can try bigger, but that should be fine

Ding ding ding. All motors respond differently, you'll figure out what size you need when you are on the dyno.

Exactly, what ignition are you running? In general at that boost level we're down to ~0.024" with B series motors.

Sal, I'm going to run the NGK #BKR7E .028-.030

When we tuned my car at Trackmasters, Bubba threw in some NGK's with a 9 heat range, but I think that was too cold for my application. Those are gapped at .030.

Next Saturday. It's a night event. Daryl said he'll go if I go, but I don't know if he'll run his car.

Here's the link!

That's kind of harsh! He's just looking to get people's opinion's from there experience.

i dont mean to be an *******

the answer for his question has been given.. theres no point for me to repeat he has to gap it to ~0.028

and considering this is a webboard and the type of question... seems that he doesnt quite know how much brutal power and money involves for a 30 psi H22

if it does and can afford it.... hey mad props....... he will be one of few....

for that much power i would definitely say below .024 and id probably go with a 9 series plug. it also depends alot on your ignition setup too
