Do you have to re-gap the spark plugs.

No re-gapping of the stock plugs necessary - just have to remove them, and install new ones. Previous poster is correct.

From Procharger's installation guide:

"Tech Tip: Installing spark plugs that are one heat ranger colder than stock and gapping your plugs to .035” is recommended."

The NKG plug listed should come pre-gapped at .035" but its always nice to double check.
