    Read these plugs?

    Trying to figure out what is going on here... besides what looks like some oil in a new motor, well 10K on it. Has never run right since build and a chip from... well you know that ones that never run right.

    Since the truck came with no knock sensor and the chip is in question he is mailing it to me. I'm really worried this is another 454SS timing table in a tow rig hauling 12k

    Average picture looks like the other 7. Worst is one cylinder. Here's the build.

    Truck is an 88 V30 crewcab dually.
    Engine is a MK IV 454 out of 1987 one ton dually, bored .030 over with Eagle forged steel rotating assembly, 6.385 rods, 4.25 crankshaft, and 10.2:1 Keith Black pistons. Engine displacement is 489ci.
    Comp Cams CB XM 270HR-12 camshaft.
    Edelbrock 60479 aluminum heads, Comp cams retrofit roller lifters, pushrods, springs/locks and roller rockers.
    Edelbrock 3764 TBI intake port matched to heads, no EGR.
    CFM technologies ported throttle body with Extreme EFI AFPR and pressure gauge currently set to 16psi.
    Westers garage flow matched fuel injectors. I don’t remember the injector numbers (I bought them Aug 2005).
    Walbro 255 ltr high pressure pumps in both tanks.
    Hedman Long tube headers with dual 2.5” exhaust.
    Turbo 400 transmission.

    Yep,needs some fuel.
    Looks like the ground strap has gotten pretty hot on the curve there as well?
    Alot of buildup for 10k.
    If it is a mailorder chip without data though the math is only as accurate as the info and application thereof.

    White, black, oil, buildup? He's putting in a new set of plugs and O2 sensor for a re-read...

    Data does not help at all on these chips as it's always perfect!

    122/130 is doable when tuning, but it will take forever to correct a calibration that's running lean.
