He could also get the NGK BKR7E instead. Those have a smaller gap from the factory (I believe it is .038) and are used when reducing the gap to ~.028. The -11's are good for that because when you bend the grounding strap, it is at a pretty good angle comparitively.
If he is using them at .044 and has no problems, then there is no need to mess with them.

Man U FTW
The reason people close the gap on their plugs is to prevent spark blow-out. If your buddy is not having any problems at .44, then leave it alone. If he ever develops ignition problems, drop to a set of BKR7e plugs because they have a smaller gap (as Dunc mentioned). If those become a problem, you can further gap them. Right now i run a .30 gap on BKR7E plugs (315whp @ 10psi)
