I'm running 0.50 on my '99 v6. I have the MSD 6A and Accel
coil. I have no pinging (nor have I ever had pinging). If you don't
have any pinging then the 3924's will work fine. The 3923's are one
range colder and not only helps eliminate pinging, but gives some
extra hp (dyno'ed). I get my 3923's at PepBoys. Be sure to get the
copper plugs and not the platinum plugs.
Also, be aware that the MSD causes a lot of errosion on the cap
and rotor. It's recommended that you change them at 7500 - 10K miles.
Borg Warner and Accel make brass contact caps and rotors.
