Hey guys. I have a 2016 ST1 and am replacing the factory spark plugs with the Denso ITV22 plugs. I’m looking for input on the proper gapping for them. On Steeda (where I purchased them) they recommend .029 -.031, and on Stratified for ST’s, they recommend .025 - .026....Do any of you have experience with these plugs and know the proper gap number? I know they’re very common. Thanks

I'd say anywhere between .026 and .028 is pretty perfect. That's where I have my my denso22s set in my Speed6 and I know the gaps are identical in these cars as far as plugs and the Mazdas ecus are way more finicky so Im sure you'll be good.
That’s what I was planning on. Thanks man. And since I have many conflicting opinions, do you think I’m safe running one step colder on a (near) stock ST1?
