Guys, it's a mindset thing... what I get paid to do is ask "Why? Why not? Are you sure? How do you know that's the way it should work? Can we do it any differently and improve things?" and then document the piss outta the findings.

Yeah, I've seen lots of people SAY "run wider second gaps because it works", but I haven't seen much / any (or am I overlooking stuff?) documented testing to verify HOW it works, which is what drives my questions. People can draw up one hypothesis after another, but validated test results usually carry a lot more weight for me than opinions.

BTW, nothing that anybody here linked was any more than recommendations as to gap specs, not actual test results.

BTW(2), as I've said many times, I never learn anything the easy way.

BTW(3), 440Jim is supposed to be providing me info re: an article he says includes the type of testing I'm asking about. I'm definitely looking forward to reading it.
