Default check out this plug...

this plug installed in staging lanes. 1/4 pass. shut down and removed on return road.

Total Spark (via log): 9.0 deg
Wideband: Showing 9.7-10.3X AFR
gap: 0.030"
plug: B8EFS

I get the idea more spark/less fuel needed. comments?

Pull fuel leave spark alone till fuel is corrected. Then look for heat on strap, I wouldn't chase a timing mark though.

exactly correct
The plug above is an 82/46. The dedicated fuel regulator set at 54psi.
It has ran best times/et/mph w/the 78/44 combo, that resulting in around 11.4:1 AFR.

My wideband was showing excessively rich AFRs and I didn't believe it, but i guess its right.

Either reduce fuel pressure slowly or pull fuel jet or if you are comfortable with more power and your chassis tune can handle it add more nitrous jet.

I would for sure get it leaned out a point and a half at least, running rich with nitrous is waaay worse than running lean.

I also subscribe to the leaner, less spark theory. I won't even touch the spark till the AFR gets more in line. I calculate a 1 psi drop in fuel pressure is approximately a 1% reduction fuel flow, so I will probably drop fuel pressure 2psi and see how much it changes, then extrapolate carefully.

Your fuel ring needs to be about half of what you are showing, especially if you changed that plug in staging. Like others mentioned, keep the timing waaaaayyyy low until you get the fuel right. As you add timing back in the fuel will clean up but don't do it that way for now. I think you have a good grasp on the concept so just keep reading and listening and you will reach your goals.

When looking at this plug, you see way rich on the end of the threads but on the plug itself is it the color darkness or how high it comes up on the plug? Just trying to learn

Both color and how high it comes up on the porcelain. Had you not cut away the threads that would have been a first indicator of excess fuel.
