    I used to run at .042... MSD at 10.2:1 SCR with no problem. I've been told a bigger gap is touger on the coil and at higher compression there's more chance of misfire with bigger gaps so I've been at .035 with my new motor (10.8:1)... haven't tried much wider but I don't think there's any more power on the table...

    I think .045 is probably fine for you but .035 would work more reliably and I don't think you'll find much performance difference between the two.

    BTW: Thanks BigTruckDriver on the plug reading reference... I've seen a few of these for different applications but the one you reference is great.
