NA or turbo. You run the largest gap you can until you start to run into issues. Obviously you'll need to close the gap as you raise boost level..

thats a given, it also depends on your ignition set-up, say a dude with an msd blaster coil, magnecor wires, and a msd ignition box. He can run a wider gap than another guy with the stock set-up.

Yup the guy w the msd would be able to run a wider gap. Sp like I said you run it as large as your set up will allow.......

good too know thanks..havent dyno'ed yet..cant find a good one,most here tune muscle cars or hondas,their not too familiar with nissans..
