plug gap with high MSD ignition
Hi i have a L03 TBI with a MSD GM Blaster ignition coil, and Accel 8.8mm wires and a set of AC Delco CR45TS spark plugs. My question is, what should i set the gap to? Im thinking more power means that the spark can jump a farther gap, right now its at .035 the factory specification. Should i change this to make better use of my ignition system?

play around with it and see what it likes, .045 would be a good place to start
