I am changing out plugs and wires to try and help out a top end misfire on the dyno. Motor is 11:1 and I had them gapped at .050 so i am going to close the gap to .045 but while I am pulling plugs out after 1,000 miles of use they seem almost to clean, I am by no means an expert at reading plugs and no there weren't any plug chops so they are going to look lean but these don't seem right and the ground strap also seems to be getting hotter than they have in the past...

glad I'm not the only one with this symptom I have a 12.5:1 383 and the plugs look just like that it doesn't have very many miles almost 60 though but should show some signs of carbon... its not tuned 100% yet so some if it might be a lean condition but I'm pretty sure its close I'll let you know if I figure anything out

If there's a problem with the 55s I'd really like to know. I tightened the gap last year when I was searching for an issue with my engine. They are gapped a .035 with about 11.7 to 1 compression. I resolved the problem, so please let me know what spark plug or gap I need to run.
