One correction/point on the spark plug temperatures:
You can only go so cold before they foul up within 1 day. As for the "more
mods, colder plugs theory"...nope. With the standard mods that most of us
are running:
FABM/FIPK, Cat-Back Exhaust, MSD or Jacobs, Wires, Hype-Plugs, Electric
Fans, Chip, and Electric Fans
That does NOT constitute more than one step colder on the plugs. maybe if
he's running Nitrous and/or a Supercharger I can understand two ranges
colder...but even then it's not always required.
