Default Should I open up my spark plug gap?

I've been running a full msd ignition system on my 94k1500 for some time now(6a amplifier, coil, cap, rotor, and wires). I am still using stock type plugs with the stock gap. Should I open the gap or will it not really make a difference?

The motor is mostly stock other than a k&n intake and long tube headers.

Your not going to gain anything to over gap the plug.. It can put more load on the rest of the ignition system, can also contribute to misfires... Some of us run a tighter gap plug, but mostly guys running boost.. Put a good set of delco's or auto lights and gap them to the spec'd gap..
