Try the recommendation in the manual and if it seems to run a bit off, pull the plugs and tighten the gap up a tad.

Since you are the first with this setup you may have to experiment with gaps.

Get that cat dealt with first and when gapping do babysteps and try it for a day or 2 (unless it runs like **** but the manual should be close)

Didn't want to call Wheaton and ask their opinion?

Fix the cat situation first otherwise doing the plugs is pointless.
