plug gap (help)

got new ac delco 45ts but they have a champher on them and my older plugs are NGK R v-power xr5 and were gapped at 30 and have a washer.

Q: in a sbc with mods (cam/singleplain/headers/msd/etc) what should the gap be??


ive been told 45 is best but i only wanna do this one time cuz #5 is a bastard to change.
pls give me ur input thanx Sean
