just by the feel of my hands speedtigger, I'm going to check the plugs and see what there looking like, the car runs great, no trouble at all, so that's what keeps me thinking there's nothing wrong

By hand? I would assume that after feeling one side and getting a pretty nasty burn, that by the time you applied first aid and eased the pain, that the other side has had time to cool off.

Try a temp gun, that will be the way to verify exact differences.

Would give an exact figure and calculate the difference.
