Default 98 y8 to y7 mini-me spark plug gap????

do i gap it to .44 for like lx???

or do i gap it to .52 for ex now that it has vtec head???

or do i gap it to something else now since compression is different due to y8 head on y7 block? some of the write ups explain compression will be better then y8 now but none state new gap???

so someone plz help me out here, i did the swap, its got good acceleration but its missing for some reason...

I did not change the gap (.44) on mine and it runs great. (y8 head a6 block)
The bigger point is to make sure you use premium grade fuel the higher the octane the better no more regular for you. BTW what condition are your spark plug wires in? Have you tested them with a multimeter to make sure they are still within specs?
