Default spark plug gap?

Can anyone tell me what the correct gap is for NGK TR6 plugs, I have an A&A procharger setup.

906, j/k, I have mine gapped at .35, which is right where they should be out of the box.

Nice Ace's High Avatar...I was thinking about airbrush'n the Killers cover on my hood.

.035 should work and if you look at NGK's site they claim they come pre gapped at .038.

I always check them regardless.

I have mine gapped at .032, but plan on running over 16#s for testing.

Thanks Shinobi. I have been a huge Maiden fan since high school... all the classic stuff, Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Live After Death, Somwhere in Time, and Seventh Son of Seventh Son.

I was an Army Brat as a kid, (lovin it at Fort Campbell, KY), and there was an Apache Attack Hellicopter unit that had ugly Eddie, Aces High on their unit crest/patches etc. AWESOME.

Off Topic...but
VERY

I can trace back to the first album....Paul Di'Anno days..but my favorite is always Piece of Mind and Powerslave.

I saw them last year (5th or 6th time)...they opened with Number of the Beast, Die With Your Boots On, Revelations, and The Trooper.....shoot I could have left then and been satisfied with the whole show.

Taking my 13 year old to Lamb of God and Slayer this July. I got to take him while I'm still in my 30's and able to thump idiots down in the pit who get out of line.
