A bigger spark plug gap means more power but there is a certain point you can gap to before you lose efficiency of the spark, I would just say gap them @ 0.40 and see how it runs, then if you want go bigger gap but for driving on the street you really dont need to worry about gapping bigger to make power, your not going to be able to tell a difference.

7 is colder, stock for factory hondas are usually 5-6. I use NGK BKR7E-11s, they are cheap too.

The rule is - for every 50HP shot of nitrous, or 8lbs boost, go to one step colder. So yes, 7's would work fine.

NGK BKR7E-11 Spark Plugs

Hard to find for a good price sometimes though. Spark Plugs . com sells them for $2.24 each, but expensive shipping.
