Stock gap won't work for the boosted. The spark gets blown out and when that happens the condition can be just as dangerous as detonation. With that said .028 is a great gap to still create power and not blow the spark out. Once u upgrade to an ignition box u can go back to stock gap and get the power back that your losing. U probably should have just got normal step colder NGK's and used the rest of the money to save up towards an ignition box or atleast a blaster coil if ur externally coiledKnowledge is power...in EVERY sense of the word

If i may...i insist on running .028. I was blowing my spark out at 5psi once. Power would break up TERRIBLY at 4800rpm's which i later found was my peak torque. Closed the gap and i could actually make it all the way through the rpms. Please, i insist.Originally posted by prodigymbNevrmind i found the asnwer in shopkey .
