They dont look that bad.
Were you having ignition issues or do you just want to know if you should replace them?
 
Those actually look like the original factory plugs which are fine. It's just that they are kind of expensive compared to the BPR-ES's which give as good of performance.

It's hard to be sure from the picture but it looks as if you have been bordering on running lean. How much boost have you been running on the stock fuel system?

yeah i had the feeling im running alittle lean, i do have a e316g now and i have my MBC turned al the way out so its at the lowest possable boost but i have yet to go over 12 psi and have been running really slow sence im afrade it will spike real high if i try to get on it.

i i almost have enough to get my fule system, im getting it though Joe at SBR, hes giving me a good deal.

-walbro 255 HP
-aeromotive FPR kit
-PT 780cc

and im also getting a stage 3 keydiver chip with a new eprom
 
Actually the 2nd one from left (corresponding to the #3 cylinder) looks very good. The other three suggest that conditions may have been a little bit lean but it's hard to be certain. Running only 12 psi you should be fine with the stock fuel system unless there is a problem somewhere.
 
Impossiable to tell how lean he is running by those pictures. It is a good way to tune your lawn mower. You can tell alot about a motor from the spark plugs. But you need to inspect down inside the plug. There are alot of different areas to look at. Each will tell you something diffrent.
 
ok so i just got done with the compression test and with some what disapointing results...
from left to right it is: 172-115-170-171...

i did a wet test on #3 and that brought it up to 165

so i guess it time for a swap(6 bolt!!!):thumb:

i am suprised about how well the other 3 cylinders are doing the car has 120k
