We have found that shrinking the plug gap down to .045 from the stock .060 results in a modest power gain.

thanks mike . was the gain with gap change alone or with other mods?
also can alternator output be adjusted by reprograming?

The power gain is 8-12 Horsepower & a little more throttle response.We have not found a table to adjust alternator output.

Is this power gain with the stock plugs or the AC Delco 41-932?
What will the Taylor Extreme 99615 get me?
