Those plugs look like shit, do you have an aftermarket dirt injection system?

litle88 · 03-15-2013, 10:43 PM

those spark plugs are rich but also looks like it has ASH, deposits to me at least. It might be due to the fuel additives your using.

nighttowl · 03-15-2013, 11:05 PM

The plugs did not look like that until I started using the torco. exhaust smells a bit different also.

are you tuned for torco? have you seen what bad or inadequate tunes + torco do to your motor? if my plugs looked like that i would cease and desist all operations and get that figured out...if your plugs look that bad can only imagine what the rest looks like

Torco leaves that nice orange residue behind.

Get your car retuned in regular 91 or 93 octane and ditch the torco junk.

Your issue is the combination of fuel and bad tune.

litle88 · 03-16-2013, 08:44 AM

I would also change the oil. If your Running rich then it dilutes the oil and cause lots of wear issues.

im not too sure about a ported mani, it flows really well and can support lots of flow, id get a vmax tb since they cnc it and the throttle response is better. Id get a vararam or rotofab intake though. Im sure youll pick up some there, especially with the vararam when we hit byron or Rt66 this year lol I want to go to the sticky tracks and GLD wasnt my friend this last year lol

I told you brother LOL! That track SUCKS!!!! I refuse to go there anymore!
