Really? That small? I thought I read on here somewhere that you should only gap that small if running high boost. And if low boost, like 7psi, to gap to .030. The plugs come pre-gapped to slightly larger than .035

to accurate gap them... get a hold of some feelers gauges. pick the appropiate guage and place it in and tap the spark plug.

it depends on the car and how much power your making.
you could get away with .040 gap if your running 3 psi.
if your running high boost you need to gap the plugs tighter or upgrade the spark via coil etc....
gap is going to change depending how strong your spark is.
gap them at .028, if it works fine. if it's breakin up try a tighter gap.
