also, you should only read a new plug after you've let the engine run to temp then done a WOT run and shut the car off at high engine rpm and not let the plug idle. that can throw the plug reading off, but not many street engines get that treatment when it comes to plug reading.

btw, when i said hot, what i mean is that it looks lean. you need a little more fuel in there bud.
