Don't forget about putting winter air in your tires, make sure to add some aersol antifreeze also AS far as the gap does, it should snuggly fit inbetween your teeth

Since I have been delinquent with my posts of late, I feel I should jump in on this one. The spark plug gap distance is really dependent on whether or not there is good communication between you and your rig. The less communication the greater the gap. to put it another way, the spark plug gap is inversely proportional to the bonding between you and your truck. If you and your truck are really close, and I mean really really close, there is virtually no gap at all.

You guys think if i do some modification to this old tunnel ram intake I can make it fit on the truck? I was thinking about putting injectors in the runners also to kind of get a double hit of fuel. I think it will work, but then I'd have to get an on board air compressor and run a line into my intake duct to pump more air into the turbo.....this is confusing me now.

I overgap mine in the passenger seat. But I only turn it on when I have to give the Chevy or Dodge guys a ride so they can get the shock of their life. It really makes my day.
