Default Quick question about spark plug gap

When its closer gap, does that mean more spark and heat? or ther way around?

i'm not sure, but for electricity to travel through the air over a greater distance means that there must be a larger potential difference (higher voltage between the two points). this leads me to think that the larger the gap, the more spark and heat, but i could very well be wrong.

Larger gap the better the combustion process should be. Boost requires a smaller gap. Typically the largest gap without misfiring is the best. Car should run richer with a smaller gap too.
