Not true. I don't know about .060 but .050 is not a problem. I wouldn't do
it without both the ignition and coil. You not only want duration of spark
but a hotter spark as well. The MSD 6A with the Blaster SS is a good
combination and runs 3923's gapped at .050 with no problems.

Hi Sam,

it will slow you down, they recommend .050-.060 , I did it and what a turd
