Plug gap

toolmanmike said

"some Dudes" .048% sounds pretty generous. That's 11.28 on my 273. If I was replacing the plugs and I knew that a .045 gap would increase my horsepower by 11 you bet I would gap them wider. Is it worth chasing for the gain? Not to me. It's like "who cares" for 90% of the people on this forum.

dick size, mike. i was referring to dick size.


anyway, putting aside all larking about the number was actually closer to 3%

but that begs the question: do the numbers extrapolate out? yeah you got 5hp at 180, but are you gonna get 10hp at 360? and does that 10hp actually matter when you've got 360 on tap? i mean, aside from a competition setting where cash monies is on the line.

then flip the coin on the $$ for them hi fallootin' plugs and wearing out ignition components on the regular and see what that pencils out to on back of the napkin...
