You're running too lean. Check your fuel pressure and intake hoses (and intake) for air leaks. Retarding the timing will help to a point.

Every time that i turn the car on, the headers start to turn red at the bends. It starts first on the drivers side on the 3rd cylinder. I know to retard the timing, i tried but there is a point where you retard it so much that you can not turn the car on. Any suggestions?

pull the spout connector ...check timing with a light and set base timing between 10 degrees and 12 degrees then reinstall spout and see if headers glow......

RE: Headers glowing
Usually Fat rich conditons will cause exhaust temps to be low..not glowing hot..Lean,,exhaust temp go up and start to glow...Also another possible cause would be a timing issue..way to much timing or notenough...might wannacheck the timing....with the spout disconnected..
