I set the gap at .035 as advised for blown app as I was told that the blower can actually blow the spark out...

but...I did run the truck for a while at the factory gap (somewhere around ..060 if I remember correctly) and didn't have a problem...before setting it for .035

so my question is, if I can safely raise the gap to say .045 and not have any issues, will I find any performance gains in doing so?

* I did notice that the factory gaps for supercharged vehicles are the same as non supercharged FWIW
