spark plugs for boost?
Time to lean out the fuel a little bit at a Time until the plugs clean up
Buy a new set... change 2... see what they look like after a quick pull...
Start it, race it, kill it, look at it...
As little idle time as possible...
I even like to find a portion of highway with not much traffic...change the plugs on the on ramp, and the blast into it..then pull off to the side and take a quick peek...throw a different plug in...drive it home..take apart the plug you pulled with... make some changes...and do it again...

Good info, I change the wires, and the BR7 still looked a little dark, but the sputter was still there a little. So I got the TR6 and not sputter at all! I think I got it! Pulled more fuel to get it out of the 10s in AFR. I was told to shoot for 10.9, then I see a lot of you guys going 11.5-11.7 how lean can I go with meth, and not hurt the engine?
There is no magical #...
Usually you can run the same afr on boost that you would run naturally aspirated....
Its not accelerating the flame...its adding air and compression..
Heat plays a big role too...
What are your iat's....how much boost...what engine compression...
In general I'm never below 12.0:1....
I'm often upwards of 12.5:1 or even 12.7:1...on 15lbs of boost...
Timing is another story...all based on the things I just listed above...
With Meth you can typically bring the timing way up close to naturally aspirated #'s
Using Meth can bring 93 octane gas upwards of 117 octane...
