I ended up taking one of the plugs out and it was black and had some oil buildup on it and what really makes me wonder is the last owner put in NGK TR5 plugs in it which are a lower heat range then the stock plugs and they are usualy used when running nitrous if im correct...so kinda makes me wonder but anyhow i got 8 ac delco plugs i have 6 of the 8 in i couldnt get 2 of them on the passenger side so im going to take it to a shop and have them put in the other 2 i guess, it fired right up and it running good. thanks for everyones help.
