Default how do this plugs look

I did not take them out righ away, they have a lot of idle time
what do these tell you? im no expert on this and cant make sense from looking up info on google on how to read plugs.
100 shot with 4 degrees timing pulled from 26* total using LNC2000

So after reading a bit more, I came to the conclusion that the timing is pretty good,
the fueling cannot be determined from them but i can tell there is no predestination happening.
I am going to be upping the hit to 200 next weekend so I was wanting to make sure it was all good to go.
the car ran really good on the 100 shot.
Wish me luck..
thanks

So what you're saying is you came to the conclusion that your timing is pretty good,
and your fueling cannot be determined but can tell there is no divine foreordaining of all that will happen, especially with regard to the salvation of some and not others? Or did you mean pre-detonation?

Basically I have not spent the last 15 years searching LS1tech figuring things out. I had my car in the back burner because of life events that happen. I actually learned a little bit off to me I built my home in June and have been doing on my suspension set up. This is the first time that I played with Nitrous

i looked at your thread. Your plugs look good from the little I know.
This stuff is so addicting
im also working on a turbo set up on a camaro. I have too many projects going on to just focus on one thing.
I work a lot and only get to play when ever is possible.

Ignore 8.Lug. He's being his usual dick self. I wouldn't have dignified his rude question with an answer.

I would agree, they look a bit lean and you really aren't going to get a truly accurate read on your timing mark on spray if they've been idled quite a bit after a pull...I realize how difficult it is, but you really need to find a spot you can make a good pull and shut the car off immediately after, pull a plug, slap a new one in and read the plug later. Idle time and nearly any run time after a good nitrous hit will more or less "overwrite" the data you're looking for on that plug from your nitrous hit. Just my two cents for you...however as I said based off that read, you look lean, I'd up the fuel jet a bit. To my knowledge you want a bit of browning on the porcelain near the igniter and a milk chocolate-ish color on your timing strap to be nearly ideal on fueling and your timing mark should be as close to the center of the bend on the strap as possible.

rich idle, rich at wot and heat range looks right. but can't be for sure until you minimize idle time and shutdown after a WOT pull
