Stock gap on a 5.0 is .054"

With nitrous, it all depends. The nitrous guys can chime in on this one.

You may want to run one plug range colder as well, again it depends on several factors.

Just to be safe, with a 75 shot, I'd gap the stock plugs at .050" to .052", and retard the timing by one degree.

Take care,
