Put the gap a little tighter on them too.
Maybe in the .035-.040 range.

he could tighten the gap up a bit,but Geoffrey is running a MSD 6A box,so I don't *think* spark blow out should be a problem,but .044 is a good gap to go with.

spark blow out isnt the issue.its any amount of unwanted heat in the cylinder.

it wont cost you any amount of power but it is safer...so why not do it now just in case.especially if you are going to be running on 93 octane only
