what is a good spark gap for a 7-8lb boosted OHV 2.2 liter? thanks

Stock is .40 i think. At least, that is what all data says... lol

I would gap your plugs to slightly larger. Maybe .50 to .60. Mine are at .50.

A larger gap makes the coils output more power to the plugs to force it across the gap. The more power, the more powerful the spark. So you gain advantage for a larger air gap (more moelcules can be hit in the path) and a hotter spark.

I would gap it smaller than that...

I am running more boost than you, but I am running at .28-.30 on NGK TR-6's

im on ngk ltr7ix-33 and im gapped at 32 on 9psi. if you go bigger you risk spark blowout. id recommend lower than stock for damn sure.

Also wondering if anyone has the resistance values of the IAT sensor or whatever I know that if put me a resistor in there of the correct value I wil stay in "warm up mode" I just want the resistance for the lowest temp able to be read i think its 32 degrees but anyway thanks(for 2.2 ohv sorry i didn t specify)

It's not resistance values but rather voltage you should see, but hopefully this will help.
