Default NGK BKR7E-11...what to gap them to?

i did some research and decided to give these a shot. Supposedly they are more for turbo/nitrous apps but also recommended for higher compression motors. IM running ~11:1 b16. The current ones i have are the bkr6e's and they seem to be misfiring. The 7's came pregapped to a bout .040...should I leave em that way or is there a recommended gap?

if you do a search in the all motor forum, the have recommended specs.

IIRC, it's around 32-36

not sure how much it matters, but there is a BKR7E-11 and there is just straight BKR7E. I run these plugs in my supercharged Si and upon checking NGK's website, there are some slight differences but I'm not sure what they work out to be. To my knowledge, the ones I've always used are just straight BKR7E without the -11, so maybe someone can shed some light. NOt many auto parts stores around here stock them either *shrug*

-11 means 1.1 mm. Pregapped but go ahead and check them anyway.
