plug gap with BR=-

What is everyone's plug gap with the Br-7. Since it is a much cooler plug than stock.

Mods:
6# lower w/ gatorback, ported Eaton, ported Phenolic spacer, ported intake, ported thorottle body, Efan w/ WP, JLP Ram Air, 90mm MAF, boostbypass/oil seperator, PSP tuned SCT chip, Ft VB,

I take the truck to the track twice a year, once in the wpring and once in the fall with the miloc meets. Besides that it is generally my daily drivre in the summer, parked during the winter.

I'm currently running tr-6, but jumped up to the br-7 due to additional mods. I'm not sure if the plug gap would change from tr-6 to br-7.


Plug gap? Br-7's? anyone?

Somewhere some place, I heard that the rule of thumb for the Lightning sparkplug gap is. Subtract 0.001 for every additional pound of boost installed.
Stock plug 0.042 – 8 points (additional boost) “6 lbs lower and 2lbs for the ported blower” = Gap at 0.034
