You realize this is only happening because I helped you put the blower on right?

If the wires are on all of the way, and none of the wires got damaged during removal (might look good on the outside but be broken internally) you might have a cracked plug. Sometimes the crack is so small, like a hairline, that it's hard to see until you have a carbon trail...

I just put a set of tr6s in my truck to see if it would help with the higer compression (10.8ish). I have no issues at idle or wot. If anything it runs slightly better and i am NA.

Well I swapped out the TR6's for the stock plugs this morning.

Everything is back to normal. no missfires.

It might have been the wires not making good contact, or the gap.

I will reinstall these when me and cody tackle the Cam/head work in a month or so. I will see how they go then

Before we tear down the motor we will swap plugs again and see if the misfire returns. If it does we will swap the wires with some of mine and see if it goes away. I think you just arent getting enough heat in the cylinder to warrant the colder plug just yet with only 5-6#s of boost and 11*s of timing.

And asnwer your damn text message
