I just got new plugs and MSD wires to beef up my LT1's ignition a little. I think the box said to gap them to .050. Should I leave it at that since my internals and all are stock or is there a better gap for power?
By the time summer comes it will have a tune and be on a 125 or less shot but I am only going to spray it all the time. Most of the stuff I have found in a search on people who do it are people who are blown or run a lot of N20 all the time.

 

Well which plugs are you using? If they are oem stock then yes it's .050, but your using aftermarket plugs (autolite-ngk) then gap them lower like .035-.040 since your planning to be on the bottle. The lower gap will have no affect on the car.

 

They are botch platnums, should I still go with a .050?

 

Yes those plugs are gap at .050, now if your running the bottle don't use those plug. Plat plugs don't run to well on the bottle.

 

I am going to get an exhaust first so when I do that I will drop in some NGK's

 

i'm getting some NGK TR55 plugs on my car. I want to get MSD ignition wires. how much better delivery is there with these? BTW, the plugs will be gapped at .050, good?

 

I got TR55's and gapped the to .055 . Just waiting on my plug wires from HPE to get here. I order the Taylor 10.4mm wires.

 

Back when my engine was stock, I installed at set of Bosch platinums, gapped at .50", and it ran horrible. The next day I yanked the plugs and didn't find any installation problems (loose wire, wire on wrong plug, etc). I installed a set of stock AC Delco platinum plugs and the car ran great. Platinum plugs run hotter and can potentially cause pre-detonation with your nitrous. I would suggest a set of Autolites (I believe 106 is the stock heat range) or NGK TR55's gapped at .050". I prefer the Autolites as the NGK's have a threaded cap that can come loose.
