Default Gap on NGK TR55s Plz!
My ZO6 went into a fit friday night, idles fine, runs good under full power (if you go 0% to 100% throttle) but in a roll on situation she has a dead miss Im thinkin bad tank of gas or maybe a plug. I bought the NGK and gonna install them tonight i have already put some kind of fuel treatment in the tank but have not seen any gain from it. Anyone have anyother ideas??

Again whats the proper gap recommendation on a 383MTI car?

Thanks in advance
Shawn

Stock is .05, but I'd go .04-.045.

I Was Running Bosch Plat 2 In My 98 Vert.. Never Ran Good, Switched To Ngk Tr55 Runs Great, Better Mpg, May Not Last As Long But Its Worth The Trade Off.
