A lot less pointless threads than this have been locked before. This could easily have gone in the small questions thread. Just sayin.

Gaps range between .032 (32 thousanths) and .025 or so NOT .28. Run them tighter at higher boost

...last time I checked it was measured in inches. That would be around .8mm


.28mm is about .011" which is way too small of a gap.

http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/199...fications.html

Granted this link is fora KA BUT check out the spark plug gap. .28mm is definitely not correct.
