Post What Spark Plug Gap Should I Use On My NGK's For Running A 50hp Dry Shot?

I am geeting ready to change my plugs to NGK's for running a 50hp NOS dry shot. I was wondering what is the best spark plug gap to use on these plugs for the best results? Also what gap do the stock plugs come with from the factory?

MrBBQMan is right, I run the NGK TR-55 plugs gapped at .040 and it works very nicely.

.40 here too...

I've heard any more than that and you run the risk of them blowing out....
