Default Does this look bad?

Just took out the spark plugs to see how they look
and it looks weird white in the inside and black around it ,

either your running lean. either that or your cylinder walls are getting to hot which inturn can mean your running lean. what's your setup? what is the temp on those plugs 6 or 7? try running a colder spark plug

White is an indication of lean as most pointed out. But the wear looks great. If you don't have a dyno, raise the fuel pressure up a few PSI. If you do have access to a dyno, I would go for some tuning!

Just because he is lean does NOT mean that he is pinging. All that means is early detonation, and if he doesnt hear it than most likely, it's not happening to him. They call it pinging because that's the sound it makes. But yes, you are lean.

hmmmmmm thats funny i ve been using the mugen chipped p30 in a jdm itr swap and i havent been leaning out. as for the mugen program its a more aggressive ecu wiht bettre fuel and ignition settings, you should not be leaning out using this porgram, i would try riasing your fuel pressure and what pump are u using?
heres an idea of my setup
walboro 255lph intank, with mugen program KATMAN chipped. and ive been running rich, but fine for the past year.,

it's running a little lean... I wouldn't really worry about it since you have a very mild all motor setup. Leaner is meaner...

if any the only thing that the mugen ecu is advancing 2 degrees. so just up the fuel pressure up 2-5 pounds. that program is great. just get a colder plug if you want to have a sense of safety like a heat index 7 instead of 6 couldn't hurt
