Run stock heat range plugs. Can't remember the number, but sounds like your not burning all your fuel. Hows the mileage!? Bumper have a bunch of soot on it?

I'm colder plugs to lower temps... should I really be running a step hotter plug? Wouldn't my HC and CO be much much higher if I'm not burning all my fuel?

It's a rebuilt motor with about 300-400miles on it... so its minty fresh
