Default What's wrong now!!!!!!

So I was on the road to installing my TR6s for nitrous. Well I pulled my TR55s and they had a nice tint of orange on them. They had a wiff of gas on them too. Now I do use the NOS octane booster. What does it all mean????

Why do you think something is wrong - do you have pictures of the plugs?

Don't use octane booster. It does nothing but clog injectors

The orange color on the plugs come from fuel additives such as NOS octane boosters.

you can run a good amount of nos on 92 pump gas if you pull out enough timing ,and have more than enough fuel pressure .i would run hi- octane unleaded gas instead of a hi-octane booster.
