I'd say start at .040 and work your way down if you notice any mis-fire
Also try using an NGK ZFR7F-11 or a BKR7E if you can

So JDM ITRs are supposed to have a 7 heat index?

There is alot of trail\error with spark plugs.

You could start with a 1.1mm Pre-Gap and work down if any mis-firing.

we MIGHT play with gap on the dyno, if we have some spare time on hand. But i'm pretty sure it's been solved allready for when i get the next bottom end.

thanks guys
