I've been using new stock Delco plugs/leads since the headers-exhaust-tune, were done!
NGK tr6 plugs were recommended but through my ignorance I tolerated the stock plugs.
It would seem there were always miss fires present, perhaps only partials if there was such a thing but it was there on several cylinders.
Anyhoo, I finally bought new leads/plugs (in case other leads were damaged during headers install, to eliminate this as a potential problem).
During the process of gapping the plugs (NGK copper tr6) I managed to drop one, it landed electrode first as expected and altered the gap, as I didn't have a spare I re-gapped and used it, I installed in cylinder #3 being that it was the easiest to access, I went for a drive and monitored it and lo and behold it's rooted, moral of the story, don't re-use if in doubt!
New plug going in tomorrow, log file attached!
