What do you think? Is is bad or ok?Car was street tuned for nitrous...non even a full bottle on those plugs(less than 4000miles)

I know this wasnt done with brand new plug after one pass, but it definitly seems lean.

Can you cut the threads off a couple of those for me?
Never mind just saw where you've been driving on these plugs. I wont be able to get a good reading on them like that.

I edited my post. What you CAN do is throw a new plug in there and do a short blast on it and I can read that one!

Projected tip and nitrous is a big no-no.. And as everyone else said, you need a clean shut off to get an accurate plug reading..
If at the track change plugs on the top end and drive back, or get towed back.. Only real way to get a good reading..

Yes, they will be ok. You might find it will run a little rougher but it will be ok.
