Default What's wrong now!!!!!!

So I was on the road to installing my TR6s for nitrous. Well I pulled my TR55s and they had a nice tint of orange on them. They had a wiff of gas on them too. Now I do use the NOS octane booster. What does it all mean????

Why do you think something is wrong - do you have pictures of the plugs?

Don't use octane booster. It does nothing but clog injectors

Ok, now since my injectors might be clogged, should I try some injector cleaner???

The orange color on the plugs come from fuel additives such as NOS octane boosters.

you can run a good amount of nos on 92 pump gas if you pull out enough timing ,and have more than enough fuel pressure .i would run hi- octane unleaded gas instead of a hi-octane booster.
