Default Spark Plug Gap

If running a colder plug, what is a recommended gap range for a non-boosted 96 GT? Should I just gap them within the stock parameters or do you guys recommend another setting?

Changing to colder plugs does not affect the recomended gap. Adding a power adder does. So, I would leave the gap stock. Bigger gap makes for a bigger spark which is better for performance.

any particular reasoning to back up why you gapped so tight since you are not boosted? just curious.

That is very small on a non boosted/nitrous application

I'm at .028 with my blower
