Default spark plug gaps

Okay I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like using the search so don't give me any shit guys :P I'm gonna throw in some Denso iridium plugs tommorrow and was wonderin what I should gap them at? I got all the usual bolt-ons..APR93, 2.5tb, blah, blah. I know most people running the coppers will go with .028 and I'm sure I saw someone post on here that they gapped their Denso's at .027 but I'm not sure. What do you guys suggest? Thanks in advance for the help

Anywhere from .028 to the stock gap of .031 should be fine. With just bolt-on's you'd be fine running the stock gap.

.032 gap is stock
.028 gap can be run with full bolt ons

Either one

Thanks guys, I'm leaning toward .028. Is there that much advantage/disadvantage running them one heat range colder? Or is it better just to go with the stock gap?
