plugs: white tipped

[greathuskie]

just pulled my plugs yesterday in an attempt to see why my car is so damn slow, and the tips are white

now i know i am flowing ALOT more air then stock (see webpage), but i didnt think i would be running this lean, i have a stock wired 255, im going to rewire it soon so that should help a little right?

my car is very slow and even though everything is working fine, the car is just very slow and when i floor it it seems like it doesnt want to go as fast as it should, is it because im running so lean my car is pulling timing or something? should i stop driving it until i can get some more fuel mods done?

White is lean, lean is pulled timing, pulled timing is slow.

Turn the boost down until you get some injectors and something to tune them with.

White insulators by themselves don't mean diddly. It could be lean or it could just mean the plug is hot enough to burn all the deposits off. Unless you see signs of pre-ignition or glazed or glossy deposits your possibly just seeing the effects of closed loop idling with a plug running on the hot end of the normal scale.

Unless you have some other telltails suggesting your getting timing pulled I wouldn't fret too much over white plugs. Mine have been almost a pure fluffy white when I changed them since new. The darkened up a bit when I switched to 7's so in my case it was just heat range.
