Colder spark plugs are used primarily for Forced Induction cars, such as those using Supercharger, Turbo or Nitrous.

What do you mean your engine gets hot to fast? As in temperature gauge gets hot fast? Does it over heat?

Try and explain it a little more.

The BCPR6E-11 is the stock plug for that motor. what ECU are you running?



This might help you out a little more. Since you are running the stock plug for the motor, the timing might be to advanced, you are running to lean etc.

You have been misinformed. Hotter or colder plugs have no impact on the running temperature of your motor.
