I think the old rule of thumb is for every 100 fwhp you gain you need to drop down one heat range. So if you were seeing a good mark on the 7s then bumped up compression 1 full point a 8 plug is fine. Like bullet said, too cold of a plug never killed a motor. Heck I run 10s on the 300 shot, just my two cents.
