Re: Plug gapping?????? (65Z01)
any mods that might have changed your gap requirements? or is that for a out of the box type 350? In rereading your signature, I am guessing its not stock...

The HyperTech coil puts out 53kV compared to 38kV from the stock unit. Combined with the lower resistance TPIS wires, this allows me to run with a .045"-.048" gap.
With a stock ignition I suggest the stock gap, i believe .035". I would still run with cut-back ground electrodes for a more efficient burn though.

All you do is bend the tip. Get a plug gap tool, usually just a round disk with an inclined edge. Check the gap with the tool, use the tool to open the gap by prying up on it.
I hope that is what you are asking.

Re: (BAdAzZV8)
OK, so now I'm looking at getting a good gap. Some are saying .035, but you say that you did that for your nitrous setup, would it be good to do that if not running nitrous?
