I need hotter spark plugs

[Rattlecan Hero]

I need hotter plugs for my swap and bigger wires. What type should I get that would benefit my motor? I know I don't wanna get too hot of a plug because I don't want to burn holes in the tops of my pistons. Too cold and they won't burn enough fuel and it will leak past my rings into the crank case. Hell I may even get a whole MSD setup but I thought I might ask you guys what I should do first.

I dont recall what your setup is but as far as i know you use the heat desginated per your compression. i.e ls = 5 gsr = 6 itr = 6 according to acuraoemparts.com jdm itr might be heat range 7. Higher comp.

I'm running the high comp LS. 13.41:1 compression. Compression is 260 across the cylinders.

That’s not how spark plug heat ranges work at all.
Here is some education on the subject: http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/tech_support/spark_plugs/p2.asp

Start with a stock 6 heat range and read the electrode.
