Default So after 5000 miles of being boosted i replaced the plugs... anyone want to give me input?

The setup is a B20b low compression bone stock, with a 55 trim borg warner t3/to4e

running 10 pounds, tuned on crome pro by RLZ engineering-

I was curious, if anyone could take a look at the plugs after 5k miles and tell me how everything looks-






also, what is that yellowish color on the ceramic?


and there were little bits of stuff, it appeared to be anti seeze or something, but it was on the tip of the plug?

thanks!

kinda hard to tell from your pictures but they look fairly normal i would say. I dont really see anything out of the ordinary. take pictures of all 4 where the side electrode (shaft) meets the plug itself. That way we can see how lean/rich each cylinder is running.

I don't see any detonation, but reading worn plugs is really not a good way to go about it.

Is there any other ways to make sure everythings 100%?

the vehicle runs 110%, no hickups or anything, but just want to make sure

How are you pulling the plugs? Right after a pull at full load and cutting off the ignition?

looks normal to me...

That yellowish substance on the plug is just something they use when they manufacture them. when it gets hot, it gets kinda sticky.
