I looked into shortly plugs but cannot find anything in my heat range.
I could swap the headers but 1 i really like these, and 2 they cost big $$ so id rather keep them
do I have any other options?

I made this mistake ONCE... Oh yeah -- and another one I made -- ordering a radiator without the automatic trans cooler... FIXED 'EM both -- buy the right stuff and replace the wrong stuff. Lesson learned.
However.... I did learn another thing from it (the straight plug head fiasco)... I found if I ran the plug wire DOWN under the headers and along the block and back up to the distributor - - it not only saved the plug wires - it looked cleaner. Did it to my BIL's blown Camaro that used to eat wires monthly. Hasn't replaced them since we did this "fix".
Also -- take a look at Accels SHORTY PLUG... sometimes that will get you another 1/8th or more "away". There are also different size boots. I'm running the TAYLOR Thunderbolt 8.3 wires -- the boot is much nicer and smaller than the MSD wires I had been running.
