My NGK Iridiums have not missed a beat and gaped at the factory wide setting of .052.[?]
WOW! That's a huge gap! I know they must be very smooth, but believe it or not, if you gap them down to .028, not only will the car be smooth as silk but you will get a real nice power boost from them. Not a bad way to get an extra 5hp or so, huh? [?]
Remember though, .028 is really for a high powered car, like 350+hp. Below that you may develop a misfire which will cause your car to run very rich. .033 is really ideal for applications without a big turbo. If you get rid of your muffler and resonators, you can hear the misfires loud and clear if you run your gap at .028. It will give you great top end, but lousy low end.
