Spark plug gap.........??

ok I got the MSD stuff installed without a hitch and everything works fine. Although I have a question, I gapped my plugs to .040 and I think i should have gapped them a little more. If they are at .040 will this decrease my performance as opposed to say if they were gapped at .045 or .050, also what would you recommend as an appriate gap.

Gap it one of those things you can play with a bit and see what runs best for your setup.
.45 is whats posted on the tag for gap in my cars. So use .45 as a base line then move up.
