Default Spark plug gap for upgraded ignition

I have a 93 civic si (d16z6) and have installed an msd 6btm ignition control module, blaster ss coil, and accel ignition wires. What gap should I use on my plugs in order to get the most out of the aftermarket ignition system?

Is the engine force fed in any way?
If not use the stock gap.

the turbo is not going on until the spring. So as long as my car is n/a i should use the stock gap?

About this gapping?? How do you do it? I have some plugs in my car with some wires both aftermarket, but I just kinda threw the plugs in and tightened them in?? My brother was telling me we should gap our plugs, but we don't know how?? Anyone know how to gap the plugs or know where I can find info on how to gap the plugs?? Thanks.

You have to set the gap on the electrode before you install spark plugs in your car. There are some plugs that come pregapped from the factory. Just get a gapper at the counter of any napa, autozone, pepboys, advanced auto parts, etc... for 69 cents. Then stick the gapper in the gap on the electrode until it is the gap size you want.
