looks like its running perfect to me. maybe a TAD lean, like by a hair. my plugs are cocane white (lean)

definately drive it around some more, but they look fine right now

They look barely used. Drive it some more and repost. I don't see black deposits, so you're not really running rich.

I've been ripping the ---- outta it for the last 70 miles.....constantly boosting....does that change your opinion?

They are ACdelco "rapid fires".....not sure if they are the best plugs in the world, they were like 5 bucks each though

Plus the proper way to read plugs is to warm the car up, swap a new set in, rape it then pull them.

That is if you want to tune by looking at your plugs.
