For the OP's setup (2.8, 60's) there is no need to go any colder with the plug. Too cold of a plug will foul out on you. The OP wont be make the power to justify a colder plug than 1 step.

Really most of the people on here would be fine with 1-step colder. There is a rule of thumb, i believe its every 75-100hp you increase you drop to a colder plug.
