It really depends on what mods you have but you should be fine with a .055 gap.

Stock gap .065 I think. The bigger the gap without getting blow out the better.

I used to run AL104s @ .054 gap when my car was more mild years ago. I now run AL103R at .050 with a bunch more work.

On my Black GTP I run AL104s @ .054 , works well....

Yes, all GM V6's in the Grand Prix...3.1, 3.8, and 3.8 S/C are all .060" Stock. I run .050" right now on my AL103's...
