    Is the spark plug gap the same when running 272 degree Schrick camshaft?

    Anyone knows what is the spark plug gap when running 272 degree Schrick camshaft or is the same as with the OE cam.

    The car is running really rough, like a drag car and it wont stay running at idle.

    Thanks in advance, Mario.

    The gap should be the same.

    The rough idle will most likely be intake leaks or incorrect cam timing
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Well I did not think of it, but I installed a new set of short headers and it is not connected to the exhaust yet.

      Sorry I don't want to sound stupid, but will that cost rough idle because of not having back pressure.
