Doesn't matter what gap they start at. You got a re-gapping tool? Like $5

Ya, I've checked all over town. Im just going to order them online. Kind of excited to see the difference, I hope the fact that I tuned on evo 8 plugs wont harm the new plugs when I put them in.

most say you shouldn't but it can be done. Besides @ .024" and your mods you're good to go

You should do a VDR for ishts and giggles. Don't touch the tune or boost. Do a pull for whp/tq with wrong plugs. Let car cool down and change plugs, then do another pull for whp/tq. Should be pretty interesting. USe the same flat road for both pulls

Just incase you don't know what VDR is. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ec...simulator.html It's pretty accurate.

^ what plugs are you using and what gap. you could also try swapping out your coils and wires with another evo to test it out.
