Eh..

75 shot- gap at .040
100 or 125 shot- gap at .035

You will notice less power n/a with a smaller gap, hence why I'd run .040 if you're only using a 75 shot.

Why can't you run the stock gap with nitrous? Just curious because I plan to do nitrous and trying to learn some before diving in.

I ran into the same problem several years back. I had the Crane ignition as well and still had to gap down to .035
