Default TR-6's to hot for 150 shot?

My car felt a little weaker than normal today, maybe it's the heat but it's been hot for a couple of weeks. I also noticed the temp guage was slightly higher than normal today, nothing dramatic though.

I pulled my plugs to see what's going on and the porcalin was white, very white with small traces of the normal brownish color on some. They have MAYBE 2k miles on them, I don't have access to a scanner right now that's why I wanted to read the plugs. I'll try and take one out tomarrow and get a pic of it. Is the TR-6 to hot of a plug for a 150 wet shot? Should I try another heat range? The only change since my tune was a ported TB.
TIA!

Me and most everyone I know around here run TR6's for everything from 50-200 shots. You may wanna get it to a tuner and datalog a run on the juice.

TR6s are the right ones. As for reading a plug.. you have to run the car AT THE SPEED/THROTTLE you're looking to read, then shut off the motor. You can't drive home and expect to read the plug. If you want to read it on spray, run the car.. spray.. shut off spray.. shut off car. (don't shut off car under spray.. makes big boom) Then read the plug.

Ive been running tr6's with a min. of a 150 shot, usually more. Never had a prob with them. Might be the outside heat .

Well i'll be buying HP tuners here shortly. It's actually a 125 shot, I don't know what I was thinking last night. Does using nitrous "clean" the plugs so they would be white like that? It seems to be running fine today, i'm going to the track tomarrow so we'll see how she does then.

As long as you dont see black specs on the electrode you should be fine, if so its detonating.
