With a smaller spark gap, the break down voltage occurs sooner, effectively advancing the spark.

Are you reading these plugs?
Well I just read specifically on their website that it is absolutely NOT intended for Forced Induction, N20, or cars with modified internals, but is perfect for N/A's with bolt-on's.

I thought it was the other way around. You want to test the plug to operate with the highest gap possible for performance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Would an N/A 2.4L with modified internals see benefit from a plug that is a step colder? Let's say I/H/E/TB/Inj/Cams/Tune. I'm thinking there would be more leeway in tuneability with a step colder, even N/A?

That doesnt mean anything. Thats typical difference between stock cars... It could also be because his car has loosened up while yours still a bit tight still from the factory.
