Interesting thing with re-gapping the plugs. On my last car (a 340) I had the car tuned (stage 2 MP) for several thousand miles and a couple autoX events before I regapped the plugs so I had some decent seat time to compare before and after.

I didn't really think I would notice a difference - figured it was more for engine health than anything - but I did. While the car was really great before it was just a little better with the plugs gapped - the power delivery was a bit smoother and the overall pull was a little bit more linear. I was pleasantly surprised
Would it be on the window sticker if I have the NGK plugs?
I really really appreciate your feedback on this. Extremely helpful
glad i can help :-)

no we didn't know until we pulled a plug - my car was a pretty early build so i got
lucky with the plugs
