    It really depends on what mods you have but you should be fine with a .055 gap.

    Stock gap .065 I think. The bigger the gap without getting blow out the better.

    I used to run AL104s @ .054 gap when my car was more mild years ago. I now run AL103R at .050 with a bunch more work.

    On my Black GTP I run AL104s @ .054 , works well....
