Ah I thought it would have been something to do with higher spark needed due to more cylinder pressure under boost. By my calculation it's making roughly 250rwkw, which is very good power from a stock 304, would like to see a video posted up ;)

yeah, higher cylinder pressures mean you need more spark energy to jump the same gap. hence the reason you normally reduce the plug gaps. can't hurt to have a nice hot spark. worste case senario you need to change your plugs a little more often :)

Nice man :)

mechanically it looks pretty brutal, can imagine it would hammer pretty good :D
I hate being this honest man, but aesthetically it looks like a big white turd though :S....

clean it up the body and interior a lil and u've got yourself a sweet as package :)

How the hell do you get something like that through a change of owners without getting binned?
