I’ve run 30 psi of boost on the NGK 2309 gapped at .018” with the 3.8 Whipple, they are still in the engine at that gap at 24-25 psi of boost now with the 2.7 IHI, runs good enough to break my Tranzilla lol.
With more boost less gap not more is better, especially on a wetter aircharge charge with ethanol.
