Pacesetter Guys in here
Here a pic of the number 2 plug counting forward to back from the driver's side. I tried turning the plug at different angles put is still touches. Which wire are you running? Anyone running Accel?

It is hard to tell from the pic, but the angle of the plug doesn't look right. I'm not saying you put it in cocked and stripped it but it sorta looks like it. Did it thread in smooth?

mine pacesetters hit the plug also, in more than just 1 place.. been like that for about 2 months.. no visible damage, seems to still run good.. I am planning on replacing them with some different wires however.. not sure which ones.

That plug wire does the same for me. It's been that way for a year. Just recently I took a better look at the wire when changing to TR6's. The wire has a slight rub mark where yours is touching. The heat doesn't seem to bother the wire.

From what I've seen on the boards here, that plug wire touching the header is typical. As everyone else has said, you should be fine... you could always wrap the portion that touches the header with heat tape for extra precaution. I'm running Taylor Thundervolt 10.4mm wires and the way their boot is designed, there is ton of clearance between it and the headers on both sides.
