Not have to be new.  Pull a couple easy ones and see where your at.  If
evenly bone white, as compared to pure white, ya prolly can use those.  Time
ain't as important as load.  So 15 secs
in high gear, better than 15 secs from a stand still.  This is a street
machine, so you don't have to be as good as a NASCAR team.  Quick braking to
idle/stop, fine.  If the plug has a different
color then when you started you getting some reading.
  Using new plugs with the current fuels are/can be really hard to read,
sometimes ya gotta put some miles on em for a good base for things to stick
to.
