So, uh, you want him to gap his plugs 1/2 an inch?

....hope he's got a hell of an ignition system.

The gap should be set at 0.050" That's the factory gap. That is most likely optimal with a bolt on LT1. It's what I have, and I gap to 0.050" with the TR55's. Car runs strong and smooth all the way to 6000 rpm, idles well, and get's great gas milage.

The TR55s come pregapped at .050", which is factory gap and will suit your mods.

They are supposed to be gapped to 0.050", but I had to regap every plug. None of them were where they were supposed to be at for the gap.
