Default SP-534 Spark Plug Gap

I figured i would go ahead and throw a set of plugs in this weekend and planning on a CAI next week. What kind of gap are are you guys running on your 534's? I was thinking 0.030? Truck is a 2013 Eco

Make sure to do a KAM reset after changing both of those things.

Unhook the negative side of battery, run a jumper cable from positive to negative while you do the work. This allows the capacitors to be drained. Then start the truck and let it do a complete warm up from cold and let it run while hot for a few more minutes. This allows it to learn the mixtures throughout the temperature ranges.

I can't remember exactly but it wasn't much and from my readings most people said just hand tight.
