1 step colder plugs
Being that people use 1 step colder plugs on there cars when running nitrous. One reason to help kěep the motor cool. Would it work on a motor that isn't running a bottle.
yes, I've been running them on my G for a long time, no issues.
It doesn't quite work like that. The difference between the standard heat range plugs and the one step cooler plugs is the length of the spark plug. The deeper the spark plug goes into the cylinder, the "hotter" it is considered. The plug itself will be hotter because more of it is exposed to the combustion, and thus will raise the cylinder temperature somewhat (this can cause pre-ignition). However, a plug that is too cool will not get hot enough to clean itself, and may become fouled. A plug that is too hot, will cause pre-ignition, and may become damaged.
may be worth it for you if you do a lot of highway driving.
Spark plugs help extract heat from the cylinder as well, so they can help keep cylinder temps down but that normally isn't an issue.
Driving style changes things, as well as mods if you have any.
Hotter climates will do great with 1 step colder but if you are in a mild area there really will be no need or benefit.
