.54 without a power adder. I used Autolites with that gap setting on my N/A Marauder.

I think merc means .054 or 54 thousandths of an inch.

Bear in mind it's for the '03 GM, so SOHC 4.6. I think gaps are the same but perhaps someone can confirm?

Edit: Just checked yes .054"

Osvaldo, the correct gap for your motor is, as stated above, .054" (1.37mm).

If I may make a comment concerning your use of cooler plugs and a cooler thermostat: cooler plugs and thermostats do not provide any performance benefit by themselves. Absent a tune which can take advantage of their use, you run the risk of incomplete combustion, lower fuel economy, and increased engine wear.

Get the tuner from Lidio or Reinhart. I used Reinhart. Carefully list what you've done to the car and his tune inside the XCal2 you receive will be appropriate for your modifications.

:cool: Ok well I will work on that MAGINDAT but I will check for prices.

Oz,
Remember that price is not always the only issue. Be sure to use a sight vendor so you receive the best tune for your car. Other vendors, though cheaper likely will not provide the tuning you need for our particular heavy cars.
Good luck,

^^^what magindat said^^^

You beat me to it, Rich.

stryker, by all means get the XCal2 from either Dennis or Lidio...even if the cost may be higher than a local supplier, you won't find anyone who knows more about tuning the 2V and 4V versions of this motor.
