Or by switching to headers it is irrelavant as it does not change combustion temperature temperature?
When going to kooks 1 7/8 shortie headers should you go one step colder on the plug?

Not needed.
Only if you are running FI.
The rule of thumb is when adding about 100hp N/A go one step colder.

I am now getting a slight ping on wot in the tucson afternoons. 105-110 degrees out. i know. do not stomp on it. i know i need a tune as the cortex does not support headers. it is alot better when surprisingly i switched from chevron techron to shell v power. i will get some 100 octane before running it. alex, take care of those babies tonight!
i should of gotten that tune from Mike, Alex. But I just need to make sure he can save the stock tune to my lap top. oh well Dec. will be here before you know it.

Try a TR55. It is 1/2 heat range cooler.

thanks Charlie. Alex helped me put on the headers last week. Well he did most of the work as I was about to pass out. That is hard work that you do day in and day out. I know, you build a tolerance. I will try that.
