Did you take those plugs right out after going for some WOT runs? The plugs go through heat cycles which basically "erases" the evidence of lean/rich detonation, etc...

Looks a hair on the warm side. What did you do about your timing?

I always assume that was LEAN as ****. &gt;_&lt; Or was it just me.

My tune is within 12.5:1 and 12:1 in boost. And my plugs looks golden brown, isnt this whats everybody aiming for?

those plugs look about just right for a boosted car....like stated b4 a tad on the lean side...are all 4 exactly the same...if so your set

standalone is always best...it will prolong the life of your motor with nice a/f mixture curve and timing plus tuning=more power
