they come pregapped, but you can go closer. I think stock they are .042 or so. You could easily go .030. - .035.

I run .027, but that's not necessary for a n/a car.

I have the same plugs,
I believed it's 0.44, for gs400 at AutoZone where I got the plugs they told me, it's 0.43.

.043 not .43

i would bump it down to .035 or so, but be careful as the iridium tip is brittle.
