his plug looks just like mine used to. the grounding strap shows a little too much heat (but not as bad as mine are in my 1st pic). the a/f ratio looks ok, but you do see sings of detonation. after dealing with detonation on my car, ill tell you that the 3s is very picky about how things are done, once you go past the stock 10psi. you cant just blindly turn up the boost to 15psi, just because mr2oc says so.
i think jeff has had these plugs in there for a while, and has often run 15 and even 17psi. since they are stock heat range, thats the first thing i would change. after that, i would highly recommend everyone install the tvsv led's to monitor their knock response, if they plan to run anymore then stock boost. its a great way to know, if a random spike of boost, caused knock or not or of your car is happy with you while you are doing that 1/4 mile run. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
