Recently my car has been smoking under wot and more recently started breaking up under WOT. Seems to be running lean. I checked the plugs and they look slightly light greyish on the tips. I had the car professonally tuned by brad brooks last year and it was running great until now all the sudden. I posted an idle log to see if anything looks unusual. Runs fine as long as im not in boost. looking for any advice? Plugs are NGK bpr8es i believe and both plugs and wires are upgraded and new. walbro 255 pump and fuel lab fpr. fic 850's. fp green. 93 octane.
