Try .010 and .012 cold (.006 tighter cold)and then check them with the motor hot to see how much they end up at, adjust accordingly up scope

Alum heads grow more than a iron head so you
gap them tighter.. myself I use .004 as a
growth factor.. try .004 -.006 cold then check
them when hot.. you only need to check a couple
EDIT
I was running E-85 so the temp didnt get as high
as a normal gas burner... just check your hot lash

Thats good with those numbers.. I usually run
a bit on the tight size but you have a tight
lash cam already
