Whats the proper gap for a 92? My previous plugs were around .050 and I gapped the new ones at .045. I searched some online and found answers from .032 - .054

.054" is what I gap mine. That is the stock gap. For a nitrous car I gap around .032-.035"

A .54 gap would be one big plug gap.

Gap should be the same. The gap is dependant on igniton really.

You typically want to try to run as large a gap as possible without causing issues with the spark. If you upgrad ethe ignition, you could potentially go larger.

Forced induction cars go smaller because the boost tends to blow the spark out and cause probs.
