A Question on Correct Spark Plug Gapping

How do the characterisitics of a running KZ engine change by having the spark plugs gapped at the recommended minimum level tolerance versus having them gapped at maximium level tolerance? How is the quality of the ride altered by spark plug gap?

There would be no change in performance as long as the ignition system is working correctly.

Great! Thanks for the advice. I am going to set my plugs at their maximum allowable gap.
