So, with a cool plug will the fuel explode closer to the TDC than with a warm plug? So if the plug is to warm the engine would act like a short stroke enigine with high revs but not so much power?
Am I getting it right?
You need to try also to feel its different. It all depend on the weather,oxygen density,nitro rate...etc. No one can give you accurate answer except your local experts. Wide open track I'll choice cooler plug,tight track I'll use hotter plug. Also there are two different type nova's plugs. If you are using long body #6,it may a bit too hot to your weather.

By the way,you're more rich than me. See my tempmeter...J/K...
