6510s for me @ whatever the gap is. .040" I think.
But my engine isn't stock, not cats , gen3 intake,
7800 rpm shifts, blah, blah. Smaller gap & 1-step
colder isn't going to hurt anything.

Some GM HEI went as high as .070" gap , most were .060" gap
due there high energy ignition.

ALL of Chrysler lean Burn ignition systems were .035" gap
However used a stupid amount of ignition lead.

Both systems were for 1 thing only, much leaner air/fuel ratios.

On the sparkplug subject - what's the difference between SP-548 and SP-589 ?

2018 Manual shows SP-548 (and that's what I installed), OP mustang shows 548 for 2011-2017 and 589 for 2018+.

Insulator looks bigger on one

parts.ford.com says
  • Ford Mustang 2011 - 2024
For the 589

Probably one replaced the other in the parts catalog

There's no reason to run a colder plug or a tighter gap on a bolt-on NA setup
had to tighten my gap n/a cam e85 as I was getting some misfires. Seemed to solve the problem

There was a lot of talk on this between @ice445 and another member (but I can't remember who sorry).

If I remember correctly, there was also quite a bit of info in this thread :

https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/th...tune-for-2018-gt.122943/page-173#post-3880389

I've not gone back through it all, but I seem to remember there being discrepancies between the spec, and what actually got fitted by the factory, and a backdated documentation change (related to part number and heat range).
