Headers GLOWING Red HOT !!
Hey I just installed Kent cams Exhaust gear and it's set at "0" deg. and the header is glowing RED HOT, I was wondering if this is normal or do I have to play with the gear to get this symptom to go away ? I have 1 step colder plugs / livewire coil and spark plugs are gapped at .055
Is red hot headers related to timing ? Your input would be appreciated !

That's why I'm NOT removing my heat shield...
 The headers on my Bronco get good and cherry red after a hard run. I've never looked that closely at my SVTF though. Is this the first time he's ever noticed it...after the cam gear install?
