I might have used the wrong words for some of you guys.

I should have asked "Do these plugs looked fouled?"

I did not mean, "I found these plugs in my garage laying around should I run them?"

What I meant was, "I bought these plugs 3 weeks ago, but couple hundred miles on them, do they look too fouled?"


But thanks, I will go back to stock NKG.

I didn't see any marks on the plugs, but you did mention adjusting them with pliers. I have found that if I leave a dent on the strap it leads to misfires. Or at least that is the only thing I can figure.
As to reuse, why not, 400 miles is nothing, a little fouling will burn off in cruise. I do ask why the plugs are sooty at all. If you are using normal ecu it shouldn't allow a plug to foul.

And as a last remark, if they don't feel right replace them, its not that hard, as you know.

^ Got it. Thanks

Since they are iridium i had to use this method to adjust them:

The reason they are sooty with that many miles is, I disable Lean Spool for a while and the car was running ALOT richer at spool. I didn't have time to tune it right away.

Thanks for the help.
