hello, I have yet another spark plug question

After driving the car untuned around the block to break in the breaks and etc, I checked a few plugs, just to see what is happening in the combustion chamber..

The plug porcelin was a brownish/white "baked cookie bottom" color, and also had some carbon buildup on about 50% of it...it was not spotted or anything.

The tip of the spark plug, where the spark occurs seemes to be kind of brownish white...with no carbon build up..

I have all plugs gapped .055 (NGK TR55 right out of the box)

My question is, should I close the cap to maybe say .050 or even a .045 to create a better burning spark? It just didnt look like I was getting a strong spark, am I wrong?

THANKS AGAIN!

I was always recommended to gap to .045 NA or .035 for nitrious or FI. I have gapped mine to the .045 and have had no problems.

I guess I will pull the plugs and regap to .050 and try that, they seemed a little cold...

I pulled the plugs and gapped down to .045" on all of em....
we will see how that works...the car is def running rich, the plugs are pretty blackish brown, but not wet or anything but I guess I am expecting that until I get er tuned...
