I'd go bigger man, not smaller.
AFAIK the gap is usually decided by the ignition system you have, not necessarily any other mods, though don't quote me on that.
For instance, the stock motor that was in my car used plugs gapped at .035", but with a 350 and my MSD ignition system, I gapped them to .045"
And just throwing this out there, the running like crap may be something else, and the gap may be fine, in actuality!
