standard is .44 gap, so average voretch is like 9 psi. I would gap it .35, stock gap isnt bad also. run copper plugs for that boost level. heat range level 6 NGK

thanks for the response..after searching harder i found a post from early 2007 that pretty much says that..

Stock Gap is a .44 so that is the -11 on the plug numbers which isnt pretty bad

Yep im gettin cooper...
