A stage 3 pulley (2.99). I know it's a smaller gap than what alot of others are running but my car liked it the best. Idle was the smoothest out of all the different gaps i tried...... and i tried them all between .030 and .040

You do not need to change your spark plug gap if you change injectors.

The fuel flow rate doesnt change unless you change it in the tune.

.35" is just fine. Wouldnt go much higher than .38".

you cant swap injectors unless you get tuned so that would mean yes, if you put a different size injector in you need to change you gap on this vehicle

No...

When you change your injectors, you just change the flow rate in the tune... you dont have to touch anything else..

Meaning that everything else (AFR and such) will stay the same..

you dont need to regap, because you arent making any new power.

Yep , I think changing pulley sizes has more to do with gapping than injectors. Spark blow out suchs.

start on the higher end of the spectrum and work your way down till you find one that works best for you. I think I ended up with .034

I wouldn't go highr than .038, so start maybe with .036

.33-.35 for your setup.... if you have issues then close it you usually don't want t go into the .32 and lower range unless you are running 2.7 or less

You have to get a tune before swapping injectors no matter what... simple... if you think not just wait till your engine blows up

You need a tune after upgrading/downgrading injectors however you do NOT need to change the gap on the plugs. For what the op is running he should be at roughly .035

Hopefully this helps clear some things up.
