i have seen worse.
it almost looks like something had to hit it but i see no marks in the pictures and it doesnt look like it was heat warped , it also doesnt look like there has been a lot of metal transfer, when was the last spark-plug change?

I did advise her to put a 75 shot on it to pass the caravans, but she says she has the "power" button, and it was good enough, LOL. It actually has a button for "power", which increases the shift points, LOL.

That thing is fried, but my buddy with a svt contour thought it would be a good idea to spray and told him to go one step colder on his plugs, and he didn't listen becuase the dumbfuck people on the svt contour forum told him that he would be safe on a 65 shot and stock pugs. Boy were they wrong, on 3 out of the 6 plugs the only thing that was left was the threads of the plug. He went through two 10 pound bottles before he decieded to change his plugs, and now he is done spryaing cause his compression is fucked.
