Question BR8EIX plug gap
For those of you now using the Iridium BR8EIX spark plugs with the Lightspeed ignitions, did you keep the original .032" gap, or is it something different?

Default That...
depends on your compression ratio... I'm at 9:1 and was instructed by Klaus to adjust the gap to .026

Standard 8.5:1 compression is what I'm looking for. Is the .026 for both standard plugs and the iridium ones? In other words no change to the gap for changing from standard to iridium, which was my question.

The gap is the same on both types of plugs...
