Hypertech Spark Plug Adjustment

I found this article and I was wondering since my car has the Hypertech Rotor/Cap/Coil if it would be worth it for me to adjust my gap on the plugs to around .050? Would I benefit from this? Or is it wrong and just a waste of time?

Re: Hypertech Spark Plug Adjustment

My honest is answer is dont do it. Chances are the only thing you may achieve by filing the electrode and spreading the gap is an unreliable spark plug and rapid wear. If your worried about spark energy on a daily driver buy a spark plug designed for it. I have never used the ac delco rapid fire plugs but i have heard good reviews.

The stock gap is just fine.
