would a hotter plug lean me out?

wondering if i used a stage hotter plug if it would lean me out at all, im in the market for some new plugs so im considering going a stage hotter plug to lean me out since im running pig rich as of right now until HPT arrives.

also im running ac delco r42lts, so a stage hotter would be a r43lts correct? thanks.

Do not do that!!! A hotter plug is going to make you more prone to dentonation and more likely to destroy your head gasket and such. Get something like a A'PEXi V-AFC, GReddy E-manage or HP tuners to take care of the fuel issue.

You do realize that your NB O2 gauge is just a lightshow and should not be used for ANY sort of tuning correct? That's why they make WB O2 sensors.

0-1V = BAD
0-5V = UBER GOOD
