Default NGK BkR6E-11 Spark Plug Gap, what should it be at?

I checked a couple places, and haven't found a single right answer. I have a B16a1 (Not original engine in my CRX), and I just got NGK BKR6E-11 Non-Platinum plugs. I want to check the gapping on them and make sure they're right. I've heard .052, .051, .033... Which is it?

Anything over 0.044 on the stock ignition is too big.

I like 0.038, it will give you both good low and hi rpm performance.

Is that for the platinum plugs? The gaps can be run slightly wider on plugs with thinner electrodes.

If you're running FI or nitrous, you'll want to drop that gap to no more than 0.035." All-motor, run stock gap.

Yeah your right. At 0.44 the spark would have to be a lightning bolt.
