Only way you need to mess with the plug type or gap (and some folks even question this) is with F/I. 3L hybrids usually run a one step colder plug (22 heat range) due to the high compression.

Only start lowering the heat range and gap when using forced induction of some sort like nitrous/supercharging. Former owner of '99 CSVT - Silver #222/2760 356/334 wHP/TQ at 10psi on pump gas!
