For a FBO setup up to 22psi or so, with room to grow to a race gas/E85 setup eventually when SRM works everything out with their fuel system... is it ok to gap my spark plugs to 0.022" or 0.55mm?

I'm getting breakup right now around 5000rpm even with just a cobb/AMS IC/tune. It's been suggested to me to gap my plugs down.

Are you running higher boost than stock?

What is stock gap?

Perfect, thanks a lot. I'll try your 0.65mm.
