If you want to make a 1/4 mile pass 3-4*
Also looks a little lean, pulling timing will richen it a little but I would put a touch of fuel in it also.

Are the plugs okay to run again or should I toss them. It's hard to find these where I live. I have one extra I throw in #8
Is my .033 Gap okay?

Gap is fine.
If the plugs are new you can keep them for later use but for tuning purposes you need to throw a fresh set in. I suggest cutting the threads to verify the fuel ring as well.

Verdad Gallardo I'll pull the timing. I checked my tune and I had a leaner VE Table in the car. I went back to my table that is a tad richer.

I would throw that plug in #7 check that one as it seems to be the hottest ... so tune off of it.
Good luck!
I'm trying to get a handle on reading plugs as well. Can someone edit the photo's posted here with a few notes of what would make the plug a perfect plug? For example a line acrross where Timing would be perfect. or the plugs need to have more color here or there...........
I keep reading "color is at the half-way point on the strap" for timing. Well to me those plugs look to be just that. So I must not be completely understanding. Also is the jetting slightly lean because the Black ring didn't go all the way around the base? they have a few light colored areas yet.
Just looking for something a little more than "Yep pull 3-4 degrees".

Steve,
Atv is 100% right. I would pull 4*. I think if you pull the timing for the 1/4 it will be just about right on the fuel. Also im glad you took the time to post them up here. This section has some very knowledgeable guys.

Part of the pulling the extra timing is it simply to be safe. Guys like ATV run the same gas, check plugs every pass, and in general have a very good handle on the tuneup. They are able to tune a little more aggressive on their personal car. With a daily driver like Sarge's something as simple as gas with more ethanol or even spraying longer could hurt the car if he was tuned to aggressive.

Good call on grabbing more plugs Steve. Also if you need a different fuel jet let me know. Better to up jet then add fuel in the tune.

x2 on someone editing the pics to show what is wrong with the plug.
So you guys are suggesting to pull another four degrees from what he already has pulled out?
