Is your cam timed? If it is overly retarded you will see higher EGT's.

If you go out, drive the car hard and then run right home and pop the hood, the exhaust is going to be glowing. Normal.
You could be getting "noise" that is setting off the KS, thus causing the issue.
Plug gaps could be too big, etc, etc.
