Default Ignition question

Well im taking everyones advice and ditching the platinum plugs and buying autolite coppers tomarrow, along with some FRPP 9mm wires


I know stock gap is .54... would my ignition upgrades effect the way i should gap the plugs? I have an MSD dist/coil and aluminum heads if it helps/matters...



thanks everyone











:edit: - oops, meant to put this in the tech section..

no stock gap is fine, only if you were boosted would it matter to reduce the gap
