Default hows this look? :D

last night i was about to change my spark plugs, but after fooling around with #8 (i believe? closest one to firewall, passenger head?) for a couple minutes i kinda lost my patience and gave up.. so this morning i went to drive the car and it started back fireing like CRAZZZZZYY.. so after a while i figured out i cracked the spark plug i messed with... and heres what they looked like.. also one of the wires was completely toasted.. some nice erosion in there THIS CAR NEEDS A TUNE BADDDDDLY!

Get those +4's out of there ASAP and replace with some TR6's.

yesir.. i hit the bottle once with those plugs in.. TR6s have taken their place!
also, you guys recommend i stay out of it until this car gets a legit tune? last time i got it tuned it was cam only.. now its got heads, 90/90, TSP tds, and the lovely nitrous outlet plate kit..

Eh, I doubt the heads will throw the tune off to the point its dangerous, same goes for the Fast90 and TSP TD's. I don't know if I'd be hitting the nitrous til you get get it somewhere and get it tuned because they probably advanced your timing a bit when cam only, and putting the heads on probably increased your compression further, essentially making the tune even more aggressive.

Haven't gotten my FAST90 tuned yet either (installed last winter), but I MPH'ed the same 118mph last year as I did this year with the FAST90 and Ford 9". So it at least made up for the power my 9" is robbing me of.

well i shouldnt say its not "tuned" i had 39# injectors put in, and my guy who installed it dialed in the injectors and put a very conservative tune on it so i could hit the spray..
