specs on my car:
98 grand prix gtp 8.5:1 compression ratio
65lb injectors
autolite 103 gapped at 0.036
ZZP Z7 turbo kit with T66
devils own controller 2bar with M7(?) nozzle
using -20*F washer fluid when lazy or 80/20 methanol/water mixture
17.5psi and 23* of timing

right now i see on the grand prix forums the turbo'd guys are running plug gaps in the 0.030-0.034. however they're not running methanol but larger size intercoolers. im running the default moderate sized intercooler 22x8x3.5". im using a NGK wideband and in order to run near knock-free my AFR is 10.0-10.2. my commanded AFR in the pcm is at 11.8.

my other question is what gap range should i consider running if i want to go to 18-20psi? i noticed when i try and run anything over 18psi at wide open throttle the car stutters and most likely is misfiring. i imagine im getting the misfire because of the add'l boost? again my AFR is still under 10.99.

any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated!! TIA

I wonder if thats due to your higher compression usually more boost less gap so you dont blow out the plugs... I run.035...but i know nothing about meth....
