Gap plugs to .30 if running stock ignition. As for timing, maybe retard 2degrees if you want to be super safe. If your running 310cc injectors, the 8:1 disc would be fine but i would get it dyno tuned to see what kind of a/f ratios u are running.

If u have the msd 6al, i would first try gapping to .35 and see if it misses up top. What your trying to acheive is the largest gap you can run by not miss firing up top. The larger gap should give you better throttle response. Static fuel pressure should be around 38-40 at idle.

you can run the plugs at about .28 which comes pregapped on NGK plugs for turbo charged appl. r5671a-8 would be nice set to try .!! or the
