Spark plug gap for stock ignition??
What gap would you guys use for a stock ignition D16 (Stock gap is .044") on 10psi? My guess would be to close it to around .030" but I wanted to see what you thought first..

.030 is safe. If you're really concerned, you can gap it @ a lower value (like .028) and then gradually increase the gap until you hear it miss.

Start at 0.30" for 10 psi, go smaller if she misses under boost. Go one step colder on the plugs also. 7 series NGK's should do fine.

Oh yea I've been running 7's for a long time now, I just wanted to re-verify what you guys feel is a good gap for a stock ignition under these circumstances. Thanks
