Default New coil packs , regap plug ?

Hey guys ... Some info . Cars running on aem v2 supercharged .. My coil packs have 245k on them .. And my plug gap is very small .. .08 or something to that effect .. My question is when I put the new coil pack in do I just put the new plugs in on the factory gap ? I was under impression that the gap is in relation to age of coil packs .. Thanks for any help guys

Never heard of decreasing spark plug gap due to old coil packs. At some point, you won't get enough spark for a full combustion. And how do you know what to set the gap to, wrt older coils?


Thanks!

Well when the charger was installed it was tinned by Evans .. He gapped the plugs cause they were missing .. So I changed the plugs this year and gapped them to what the ones in my car were ..
I called Evans cause the gap was very small so I needed feeler guages.. And he mentioned that every car is different gaps cause of the coilpacks ..
Guess I should be fine with new packs and just leaving the gap as is on the new plugs ?
