Default Am i running lean???

Ok so i just got my tranny back in after i put in a b1 cam 221/558 114 car feels no faster than stock,power kind of falls off up top i know i shouldnt be wot without a retune but i didnt think it would be so bad with such a small cam. I pulled out my plugs to do a compression test and got around 180 psi on all cylinders i noticed fresh white deposits all over the plugs that were not there before the cam. My question is am i leaning out at wot is that why it isnt pulling up top? Car doesnt miss or pop. Im getting a retune next week is it ok to drive it easy until then? thanks in advance

White= lean, so no more WOT until your tuned. Your looking for more of a tan color.

Yes it will and makes the car more prone to detonation.
