spark plug gap

Post by KimiG »

I am just wondering what gap you guys are running with your spark plugs?? I have the NGK BCPR7ES, and when I first got them I didn’t adjust the gap and put them in and the car seemed great, very smooth through the rev range, but yesterday after reading the workshop repair manual I noticed that the gap is meant to be 1-1.1 mm which seems bit too much ? ? :?

I run mine at 0.8, for a stock setup and a higher boost.
