Recommended gap.

What seems to be the most common spark plug gap for BKR7e's I got 2.8 and 60's setup now.

I think you should always try a few gaps on YOUR car, to see what it likes
each car is different, different conditions etc etc.

Rule of thumb to remember is ONLY go smaller if you need to.
you want the widest gap you can run without blowout/misfires/sputter etc.

I would say try 0.40 0.37 0.35 and see how the car responds to each.

Im sitting at .22 now. Thats what TAG suggested and it runs great. I had it at .25 and it would break up at 6000rpms and hesitate, but now its goes all the way to 7200 without an issue

there is some issues with your car then. it's not a honda. you're not running 30 psi.



wider the gap, the more power you will make till it hits blow out. then drop it down a few ticks

If its at .35 the car will not run, you floor it just jerks...at .30 it it breaks up at 6000 rpms...at .25 its runs like crap at 6000 its starts hestitating at .22 it runs perfect.

You must be using a bumfugg Egypt made gap gauge then. Its not .22 anyway, its .022 so maybe you are just mistaken all together what it exactly is set at.
