Hello I am new to the forums and I recently picked up an H2 with a whipple supercharger. After a few months I started getting a cyl 5 misfire now. I picked up some NGK one step colder (4177 TR6 model) plugs and some new wires and wanted to make sure I gap them properly if anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don't know off-hand. My manual is 800 miles away. If you call Whipple they will tell you.

Im not sure but I think the stock gap is .060 (please confirm before you gap). On a forced induction setup (or nitrous setup) it is best to tighten that gap up by .010 which would make the new suggested gap .050

I had this same problem years ago when I installed a nitrous set up on one of my vettes.... tightened the gap up and she ran perfect.

I am not sure about the gap, but it's great to see someone else out there with a whipple! I love mine. I makes it drive like it has the right amount of HPs.
