Gaping of spark plugs

What SHOULD the gapping be for 2 step colder plugs, it's been so long I forgot and I need to check over a bunch of crap so i'm gonna check this too.

Gap as large as they can be before they misfire.

I run ~.030" and its fine with water/alch injection and nitrous, no misfiring.

as large as they can be?? I just gapped mine to the spec, 0.043. is that too much?

I thought it is easier to misfire with smaller gap?
