Because I tune cars for a living.

You want a smaller gap so the boost does not blow the spark out. Each set-up is different, but I typically use .028" for up to around 12psi. I've gone as tiny as .017" before but there are a lot of factors that can come into play. So to answer your simple question, try .028".
