I have no first hand knowledge about the effects of gap on HP, but I think that Dr. Boost posted about that a long time ago. We do not see him anymore.
But my mind, such as it is, holds on to some tech trivia... see the link.
and Dr. Boost also wrote:
Hi !
We have done extensive sparkplug tests in our labs, the result so far is USE ONLY NGK sparkplugs.
For T5 cars use BCPR7ES-11 gapped to 1.10 mm if you have got a few extra horses under the hood.
If the engine misfires at high boost, maybe reduce the gap slightly.
But, 1.10 mm has proven to work nice in a 300 bhp setup.
And, yes, the plugs has to be replaced more frequently, then you get the chance do inspect "whats going on" inside the combustion chambers.
Since the plug is being used as a ion sensor, both the shape and material is important for the ion result.
Incorrect ion current results in a false knocksignal, this can be either way, indicating knock without really knocking.
Or even worse, NOT indicating knock when it´s knocking, as a result there can be extensive engine damage.
This is the reason why you MUST use the correct brand and type of plugs.
So, please, do your selves a favor, trust the results from our labs, we have done the tests for you.....
