Default Spark plugs revisited...pics for you to diagnose with me!

ok, every 1k or so after a plug swap the car will start to skip up top in rpms when under load. I've always assumed it was the plugs fouling out cause of the greddy blue box I use.

HOWEVER! there has always been these two black streaks on the middle two plugs when I pull them out. At first I thought it was just grease or something from the plug wires or what not.

Anyway, this time I decided to take a look at it further. IT'S ******* electrical burns!! Looks as if something has been arcing on these 2 plugs!!! one just has a small burn, the other one cuts into the porcelain and ends with a visible "electric dusting" on the top of the metal part of the plug.

what could be causing this?? are my plug wires bad?? they're msd 8.5mm wires and I run an SCI ignition and blaster ss coil.

sorry about the pic but my digital camera is HORRIBLE...any pic is better than no pic though.

Not in this case. Check to see if you have proper ground on the engine.
