If I run rich too long will it affect spark plugs? I am currently running a little rich, and after I install my headers I will be running even richer. I am not going to get it dyno tuned for a couple weeks, and when I do I am driving about 100 miles to the shop. Will running rich so long affect my sparkplugs? Or will I just be wasting alot of gas, and losing a little bit of power?

Okay, so would it be better to change my plugs before I drive the hour to get it dyno tuned. Or would it be better to change them after I get it tuned (not sure if the bad plugs will effect the dynotuning).

ok, last question I am going on vacation for 2 weeks and was planning on doing the plug swap before and getting it tuned the day after I get back. Thats when im sending my tb to be ported, and it wont be running. Is it ok to let the good plugs sit there for 2 weeks with my car in a very rich condition? (not sure if anything will happen to them if the car isnt running)
Thanks
Thanks
