Plug on the right, is it the standard plug in a standard motor?
Burn back looks a bit far on the electrode.

those plugs look good for a turbo engine with a supercharger tune and possible leaning out issues

So what plug gap am i running tomorrow?

I think the MSD coils should be ok with 1.3mm gap. Delcowizzid has seen people running 1.5 & 1.3 with 16PSI.

being that you are only at 6psi 1.3mm is more than ample to handle that

Fuel is at 12.0:1 now.

Changed coil packs with my VT stock ones and cant believe the power difference!

Still got a slight miss when hot though which stops when i turn the thermo fan on and let it cool. Seems to go good again when just under 1/4 on the coolant temp gauge.

I knew it may be a problem when i put one of the supports for the crossover to the DFI mounts.

Im going to make a spacer out of a low thermal conductive material (Novasteen) and try that.

I think the heat maybe getting to the coilpacks and stuffing them around. Its fine when its cool but when it gets hotter it gets a slight miss, but nothing like the old coilpacks.
