Spark plug gapping

Hi all. Don't know why I'm having such a damn hard time finding this but what is the F97 spark plug gapping for our s58 engines? The b58 comes up continually even though I tell Google it's for an s58. Stupid Google.

I have a stage 1 bootmod3 tune which from what I can tell, won't require gap deviation from stock. Unless someone here has compelling evidence to do otherwise. Many thanks

So whatever the plugs are measuring out of the box?

Yes, they are pre-gapped.
I just checked them to be sure they were all the same before starting.

Love the stage 1. When I first flashed it and went out for a drive back in April, I was like "holy shit this car is almost scary fast now." Still tame to drive unless you're in sport plus. Otherwise feels stock. Haven't noticed anything unusual or out of the ordinary.
Still gotta flash my xhp trans tune. The stupid Thor adapter simply wouldn't connect to the app despite everything I tried. So I'm waiting for the replacement which should arrive today.

If XHP is anything like what is was on my past two tuned BMWs, should feel like someone tightened everything up in the trans and after a while becomes buttery smooth

Good to know. That's what I'm hoping for.

Same, Stage 1 is awesome, really wakes up the beast under the hood.

Stock gap is .029

For stage 1, I use a .022 gap.

Was the .022 advised by Paul for your tune?

Hey guys I have a 2020x3MC. I have a mhd tune on it(stage 1). Everything is perfect at highway speeds but it feels a little jerky when coming to a stop or getting back up from a stop when giving low throttle. Do I need to get a trans tune also?
