I just bought the G-power ones today myself. I would gap them around 0.050", I believe the chilton book says 0.054" but I heard some one say between 0.048" and 0.054".

I was going to buy the V-power ones but these ones were on sale for about .30 cents cheaper regularly 2.00 more for the pair of them.

While we are on subject anyone have these ones, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have ran NGK Vpowers on both of my 5.0s and they are great plugs. I always gap mine at .45.

Seriously, how much hp could I gain changing plugs to another one (mine are new)? Would it be negligable.

I have Autolite 104's at .55 they do ok with .55 gap on my car (aftermarket coil, MSD 6Al box, pro-billet dizzy).
