If by "side gap" you mean cutting the ground back to unshroud the center electrode, seems like it would reduce the life of the plug and I doubt the that most relish having to change plugs more often than necessary. JMHO

With the right header plugs arent too bad at all on the LT1. I know some nitrous cars are running side gapped plugs. Helps detter detonation and pre-ignition from what i hear.
