I just bought some NGK Iridium IX spark plugs the pre-gap on them is .052, didnt know if i should leave them gapped to .052. My mods are Stage1, CAI, WGA Spiking 19 holding 15-16, EBC, 3" TBE W/ needswings 3" dp, Hks Bov, IC hot and cold pipes, Big filter kit. i was talking to some dude at NAPA and he was telling me that i should leave them gapped at .052 if i put it down to .045 or less that i would blow a piston or burn it something like that yadda yadda yadda but yeah any advice would help

I have the same plugs and I'm gapped at .035. I'm big turbo so I'm not sure what your gap should be for stage1. Check out the Engine/Turbos/Ignition forum. I'm sure they have tons of threads on the same subject.

When I was Stage 1, I had mine gapped at .037 and it worked great!
