Default Can somebody read my plugs for me?

My ride has been tuned for 2 days now. Drove it pretty hard last night and just to be on the safe side, I need an expert opinion on how my plugs look.

You'll not see a lot of result after 2 days of driving..
We see that it run rich for a stock engine but its ok for a turbo engine you'll need to change plugs every year for a clean turbo setup.

Canon DRebel 350D

Glad to hear they look good. I was worried about being too lean.

So... hard run, shut down, unplug, & check ground strap for more speckles? Speckles equal detonation correct? What would be the a way to remedy the speckles?
