Default aggressive gap for champion coppers?

I have found a couple people in the search saying that if you use Champion plugs they work quit well but you have to gap aggressively. These guys had turbos however so do I still need to gap the Champions aggressively for NA? If not, what is recommended, OEM gap?

Thanks

People with FI need to use different temp plugs and/or gaps. Stock is 0.044"

If you aren't turbo you are putting in plugs that are not as good as the OEMs. You can get our OEM plugs at NAPA.

Thanks,
I didn't realize napa had the plugs. I needed to get the boschs out today and neither of the two parts stores (advance, autozone) had the ngks I wanted.
I went with 13 pounds on the torque for the plugs. i noticed there is a bit of a debate at times about this.

thanks for this info

with bolt ons, i think you could gap it down to .04.

turbo is .028, ideally.
