What spark plug gap are you running?
I am running LTR7IX-11 NGK’s gapped at .043. I have been advised to run this gap. The theory goes that the wider the gap the better the combustion. What do you guys think?

In theory you would always want to run the widest gap that's still effective without losing your spark, but as you increase boost, you will have to shorten the gap. Hate to say it, but it's a bit of trial error unless you have someone that has been there done that and can tell you which gap to use. Most shops will know what works and what doesn't for the given mods.

I’m really surprised JRE recommended a gap that wide on a modded and boosted engine. What kind of boost levels are you seeing?

If it's not missing up top then don't worry about it. You will know when the gap is too wide.

.032 for my 6510s on my maggie 2650 ZL1. Runs like a raped ape and idles smooth as glass.
