How big is the spark plug gap on a Promod Turbo?
Some applications such as ProMod turbo cars using M1 fuel frequently run a spark plug gap as small as .012″, even though they are equipped with some of the highest output ignition systems providing in excess of 60,000 Volts high current and high mJ power output.
Do you need to gap spark plugs for 6 cylinder engine?
Each engine will actual require a different gap. Whether or not you need to make an adjustment will depend on the engine. New spark plugs might be pre-gapped for a V-8 engine, allowing you to install all 8 plugs unchanged. However, if installed in a 6-cylinder engine, all 6 plugs would require re-gapping.
What should the gap be on a brisk spark plug?
Excessive changing of the spark plug gap setting will result in weakening of the spark plug ground electrode and can lead to breakage. Also, the spark plug gap should never exceed.055″ unless pre-set by the manufacturer. Most Brisk and other manufacturer sparkplugs are preset to around 0.75mm – 0.8mm.

Why do tuners increase gap size on spark plugs?
Most experienced tuners know that increasing the gap size increases the spark area exposed to the air-fuel mixture, which maximizes burn efficiency. For this reason, most racers add high-energy ignition systems.
