    Well, the 23's are a colder plug than the 44 I think. The colder plug may be the reason the spark is blowing out with the same big gap.. Just a theory.

    I would close the gap and see what happens. If it don't work you are out 15 minutes. Worth the try IMO.

    Bison told me to run ac plugs r42 ts with a .028 gap and it's always worked for me with up to about 26# of boost which is the most I ever ran

    Those are awfully cold plugs. Close your gap down to .028 and give it a try.

    I use NGK UR4's...no issues gapped at 32. If car ran good before the plug change, probbly pulled a spark plug wire out of the metal connector in the boot.

    Bad O2 sensor maybe???? any readings or logs?

    Also I know it sounds dumb but verify all the spark plug wire conections are tight and "snapped on" at the plug and coil
