If you want to play around on the dyno at x dollars per hour, try .040 and .038 </TD></TR></TABLE>
dyno time is no worry.. probably get it for free or very close anyway

Do you want best pef at WOT or crusing? Put the helms manual away on this topic.

Re: 12.5.1 comp ratio how much spark plug gap (94allmotor)
we dynoed a buddys 12:5to1 2.0 lsvtec with ported head jun3's and smsp header and with back to back dyno runs with no changes we changed the plug gap from .38 to .44 and then .35 and there was a difference of 5 whp opening the gap from .35 to .44. i'm not sure if something else came into play but ect and iat was around the same and so was everything else. he was running ngk 7's

Sorry, I am just here to make people look dumb including myself.
There are just so many damned "experts" here that graduated from nothing more than PM university.

Me being far from a expert is always willing to learn, so why don't you share some info to educate the general public? Or are we all going to pretend we know what the answer is, but we're too good to good to publicly share.

Re: 12.5.1 comp ratio how much spark plug gap (neo_)
From what I've learned over the years, the wider the gap (that the ignition system can sustain) the more power will be made. The only reason for closing the gap down was if you were running high compression, boost or nitrous because the extra dense mixture and higher cylinder pressures could "blow out" the spark/flame. That's where enhanced ignition systems like MSD allow you to run larger gaps on higher compression/boosted engines which usually translates into more power and responsiveness.
I don't claim to know all of the theory behind how it works, I can only pass along information that I have both read and experienced. Jacobs Electronics had some interesting articles years ago on this topic.
