they say to gap it to .03 for stock ignitions mainly because otherwise the spark will blow out if the gap is too large. Especially with more boost, it is more prone to blow out the spark, so you gap it smaller in order to make it not blow out.

yes, you should be just dandy with .030 gap, that is what I was running on my 7 psi b16, but I am going to gap it tighter to about .028 with 14 psi.

.028~0.30 works very well.
