I'll take the liberty of answering since I have saved a few quotes from Dave on this topic...

"I have been gapping my plugs at .038~040" (larger gap acts a bit like a hotter plug)
...gap the plugs to around .040, this will help the idle by raising the temp of the plugs tip a bit and creates a better burn for a cleaner plug."

"Note take advantage of the EI by opening up the plug gap a bit .040/.045 will work fine on the top end and idle much smoother too."
