yes - plugs will affect tune and burn temps. Why did you let a zorst place choose plugs for you?
Suggest you take them out and compare them to the pictures you find in any Aus-printed car manual - they have pictures of plugs showing rich, lean, detonation etc...
The huge surface area of the uber-extractors will radiate heat - along with the massive radiator pumping lots of heat into the engine bay. all that air has to either go under the car or thru the bonnet.
i would suggest you re-install the plastic undertray so you get more airflow thru to under the car - bonnet vents will make driving unpleasant as you'll get the heat and fumes coming into the car.
My supra ran warming (e.g. above the midway mark on the digital dash) when understrain or air-con on and stuck in traffic. you should be concerned if it rises when you are travelling at speed - it's normal for the engine bay to get hotter when you stop at lights.
things to watch for is inability to hold temps down on the freeway (radiator blocked internally) or temps always rising when engine idling but falls back when engine revving (pump shagged).
dont forget that a normal toyota engine coolant temp is around the 80-85 degree mark - i suggest you find a ford manual (or the engine builder as you;re runnign higher compression) and see what coolant temps the engien normally run at.
also - you should be runing PULP (e.g. BP ultimate, etc) for the higher compression.
