Need gapping advise for a Digital 6 Plus

[Bluto]

Hello...

I have a '96 Impala with a 398cid naturally aspirated 11.5:1 LT1 motor. I'm running NGK TR6 copper plugs that are currently gapped @ .044 Motor has 4k miles on it....putting out 550+hp

I'm running the Digital 6 plus ignition & OEM coil. Total timing is 34deg. Car is run on good ol' California 91 octane. It is a street/strip car, that gets driven about 4k miles a year. I'm running a Dynatech "Dynaspark" Opti.

I'm going to change out plugs this weekend, as I'm experiencing a slight miss...and also to check plug color anyway. Is my current gap ok, or should I be thinking about going a little wider??

Thanks for your response

Your current gap is fine. If you are feeling a miss-fire then I would also check the spark plug wires with and ohmmeter and make sure they have continuity from one end of the wire to the other.

Thanks for the reply...

As for my miss, and resultant loss of power, I got home last night, popped the hood, and saw that #7 & #4 plugs were arcing slightly. I believe I've found my issue.

Thanks again...

Great, hope you get it fixed. Sometimes checking for a spark when it is dark is a great way to troubleshoot a problem.
