24's are actually one step colder.

25's are the stock plug.

23's would be 2 steps colder

What exactly do you need a hotter plug for? Your mods don't seem to require anything more than the stock copper plug.

BTW, bosche platniums tend to run crappy in 5.0's

I would want to find out what is causing the car to run rich and fix that instead of trying to put a band-aid on it in the form of a hotter plug.

If you run rich for long you'll toast the O2 sensors, I've recently went thru that mess myself, I agree with the others, I'd be more concerned to what the problem is causing it to run rich

And 25's will be hotter than the plats you run now anyhow.

Another vote to run codes and fix the underlying issue.

Good luck.

Stick copper 25's in and then fix the problem.

Have you run the check engine codes? What pops up? Did you retune for the EGR delete?
