Is .026 a good gap?

well i got them gapped at .024 so it should be fine right? i have 8mm taylor sport ignition wires.

Try it and find out. If it breaks up in the upper RPM range, you know it's not working for your setup.

Oh, and only start one thread for a topic please.

well i dont get break up or misfire at full boost but im guessin gappin my plugs lower will fix it and if it dont should i go back to .028 or is it ok to leave them at .024?

If you're looking for the perfect gap, start the gap at .028 and make a pull. If you don't notice anything abnormal, then you're good. If there's a problem, gap them down by a bit (.01 or .02) and do another pull. Keep going through this until you get to a point where the car feels good.

We can only guess what gap will work for you. We don't have the exact same car, so we can't give you an exact answer. It's a bit of trial and error. For me, my car likes .025-.026 or so. At the stock .028, it doesn't act right. So I gapped down a bit and it fixed the problem.
