Default Side Gapping Plugs

does any one have any experience side gapping plugs, seems to be like it would be easier to start the combustion process under high boost

Im guessing you might be wondering about referencing the plugs? By this, I mean have all the plugs faceing the same way and having the spark see a direct route to combustion? Its some work to set it up like this with shims and what not...Its something that we do just to go the extra mile to make sure everything is going to fire.

I was planning on trying this. The only downfall i can see is that the porcelain would be seeing more heat on one side, which might affect the way it reacts. Might have to go with a different heat range, depending how fouling resistance is affected.
