115274, Need advice ASAP Posted by dalesmitsu, Jun-26-08 02:15 AM
I picked up these Magstar 8.5mm wires at advance for 45 and Ngk plugs plug oil/filter.
Has anyone tried these wires they're abit bigger than MSD and cheaper.
I'm just running a Injen CAI "no turbo" what should I gap my plugs NGK BKR6ES-11 for 8.5mm wires. I searched info/spec its says gap to .50 but I was wondering could I go lower than .50 like .45 or .35
Need to change my plugs and oil ASAP before I leave for work 4pm

You can gap them to whatever you want. If it misses at .050" (which is the factory spec) try .045".
The wires won't make any difference.

Thanks but a few minutes ago I checked the size gap out of the box its .35-.36 thought this was odd would they foul out at this pre gap.

the -11 plugs always come with a gap on the .030's. Regap them, or don't. it won't make a huge difference.

Actually the -11 plugs should be pregapped to .044
the -11 means it's pregapped 1.1mm or .044
