More than likely that was the problem, I tuned my car to 11.5 afr and my plugs are just fine for over 8k miles so far with this tune. 12-12.5 afr is a little bit too lean in my book.

i dont mean to be a dick or anything but my intercooler piping has fallen off prolly anywhere from 9-10 times while ive had the car(****ty clamps) and the car has never done that before.... and i check all of the intercooler piping before i brought it into the shop and they were all clamped on nice and tight... im not trying to say that a problem like that wouldnt cause the plugs to foul out cause it most likely could have in other situations, but not in mine... i may not be a total gear head but i did check all of the more common issues (fuses, ic piping etc.)
