if your running stock ignition .28, if you have a MSD 6L or something you can run a little wider gap. all depends on how much boost your running and what kinda plug.

I never ran tighter than .32 even at 13 psi with NGK BKR7E plugs anything tighter and the car ran slower . Anything wider and it blew out the spark.. This was with a MSd cap wires and Blaster SS coil.

I have been running 6-8 psi daily for a few months and there wasn't much of a problem, except for a little hesitation with boost transition. After starting this thread, I gapped mine to 30 and i immediately noticed that i was starting to run a little leaner. Is this normal?

I'm running .28, but everyone's engine is different. You'll just have to try out different gaps and see what works best for you.

I think everyone means .025"-.028"

.28" is a lot and .28mm is not quite enough

I always ran with a stock gap, why close the gap if the spark isn't getting blown out?
