Spark Plugs fouling I am on my 3rd set of NGK TR55 plugs and they are fould out again. I have 01 SS with all bolt on mods and Dyno tune but Ithe plugs are fouling out after like 5000 miles. The first set I though no big deal, 2nd set I found burned up after I wad a wire burn through, 3rd set now are burned up again and starting to misfire on wot runs. Does this a problem with the tune or what I'm confused why this keeps happening.

They are really burnt and black, seems to be running rich. At wot or anywhere close engine is backfiring and losing power, almost not driveable but its only been about 7-8 thousand miles since I replaced them, wires are new and secured tightly. I'm stumped!

Problem seems to be somewhat related to air temperature, tried but could not duplicate problem today with temperature in 70s and it has only been happening at night or early in the morning when around 50 degrees or lower. Could possibly be a tune issue but it was tuned by Nick Williams so I dont know?

Camera not working, no pictures. Spark Plug gap was not adjusted when installed NGK TR55 right out of the box, are they pre-gapped at different levels or should they be adjusted for a full bolt-ons setup? Also I have noticed my battery is very weak, could low voltage cause spark issues?
