Gap & Torque on HT0 Plugs

I just received a set of HT0 plugs from JDM for my Saleen S/C on my 07 (6 psi). The box has .030 written on it. I ordered the plugs gapped to .035. Should I have them regapped to .035? Is .005 any big deal? What should these plugs be torqued to? Thanks for the help.

How much boost are you running? I like to use a .035 with 12 psi and under and a .032 for over 12 psi.

Yes, the gapping makes a huge difference. Gap off = foul

I'm running 6 psi on a 3.87" pulley.

RE: Gap & Torque on HT0 Plugs

Like mentioned, i would stay between .32 and .35, .30 is really low. Becareful with those plugs, they like to foul out pretty easy and your warranty from who you bought them from or autolite, are voided if you install those plugs on a motor that has either forced induction or nitrous, though that's what they are pretty much made for. Also did you check the gap, i ordered mine with out saying anything about the gap, usually that's on you when you buy sparkplugs, and i think mine came at .35.
