So i went outside today to give the dale some attention because i havent ridden it since i lifted my xj and i rode for like 2 min and noticed that the thing was extremely hot. I pulled it over to my garage and the pipe was cherry red and did cool down for a while. i know at night you can see the headers glow but when i mean cherry it was bright as ****. Does anybody know what could cause this?

First I would throw the gas out. (put it in lawnmower) then look at your fuel filter when its running. If there is gas pooling in it rather than just going through or it is going up and down you have restriction or pump issue. Then check your throttle body boots. Use a mirror. Move them around. Make sure they aren't cracked and it's seated correctly.

possibly could have a fouled plug now also...throw a new plug in there, a fresh map with stock settings and an idle adjustment, throttle cal and you should be good to go...unless there is restriction in fuel flow somewhere which you could fix as mentioned above...you need to be patient with these machines...
