EVO IX owners... Spark plug gap ?

just curious as to see what gap you guys are running on your plugs and how much boost do you normally run on a day to day basis.... are you running the stock gapping ? or did you drop down to .25 or .26 ? ...... thanks for the replies

no need to get new plugs already on an ix, and make sure you buy oem plugs and by the way they come gapped so don't mess with them.

Lazy asses. Here you go;

Stock Plug= NGK ILFR7H Stock #5245 LINK
Step colder= NGK R7437-8 Stock #4901 LINK
2 Steps colder= NGK R7437-9 Stock #4654 LINK
3 Steps colder= NGK R7437-10 Stock #4655 LINK
