Default Plug Gap for TR-6 plugs ....100 shot N2O

I've got a TNT N2O kit going in. Currently set-up for 100..... Might move it to 150 once I get new tires. I have no other mods (except donaldson)
What plug gap should I put it at? Some have said .035 others .040. What one is it? .035 seems really small to me.

You will do just fine with .040". I ran N2O on my '98 T/A 383 for a while, and I ran the TR6's gapped @ .040" with no problems. I went through 4 or 5 bottles in total, and I never had a problem. It put 540 RWHP down through an A4, FWIW.

For every 50 HP OVER stock whether it's N/A or FI/Nitrous, you decrease the gap by ".004. So if you have a stock car and add a 150 shot you have "0.004 x 3 (50 x 3 =150) so a decrease of 0.012" from the stock gap. Later.
