Default Gap for Beru Silverstone plugs?

I just installed my Beru plugs and I gapped them at .055".

Will that work or should I gap them closer?

I don't know the setting for Beru plugs, but if you log onto the Nology web site they would have the gap settings for Beru Silverstone plugs there.

I use a gap of 49, and use the NOLOGY system, on several cars..It works, and makes the car run better. I do recommend their products! FYI..

Your car must be dyno tuned, and the timing adjusted (retarded) to enjoy the full performance gain of Nology plugs and Hot Wires.
Othwise, without tuning your actual HP will be reduced ever so slightly from the original stock wires and plugs.
But they will work.

Overall gains have been recorded at +2-4 rwhp.
Per Nology's advertising document.
My used C5 I purchased had them already on.
I had removed and sold mine 2 years ago.

as far as the Silverstone plugs, with no resistor, I did not see anything wrong with them.

Do you have the Hot Wires as well?

I did notice a difference, in the smoothness of the car and how it pulled through the rev's...I use the complete system, wires and plugs.
It is somewhat pricy, but then --everything is for the z06! :cheers:
