After reading many threads on this subject,I'm wondering why my combo likes .38/.40 gap running 18/19lbs. of boost??
Plugs in my car are cr42ts and I've tried gaps as low as .32 with my results getting worse, not better the lower I go with the gap.
My mileage goes down and the tighter the gap the rougher the idle. I have no KR or spark blow out issues like others seem to have when running .35 gaps let alone .38/.40 that I'm running.
The reason I'm asking is that I plan on pushing the boost up to 26/27 lbs. and was wondering if that could be a problem at my current gap or just try it and see what happens.
I know that boost/rpm/fuel/cylinder pressure and other things dictate what gap is ideal, but it seems that the only clear agreement is that as boost goes up the gap goes down.
