With just a cam, don't really know why you'd need a colder plug. Stock should still work. That said, the plug color looks pretty good, and that reddish color is just from fuel additives. While they should have lasted longer than 30k miles, I would drop a new set of OEM's in there, and check them in a 1000 miles.

Do you run the hell out of it regularly?

replace all those with new AC Delco 41-110 plugs

Ponchonutty · 04-12-2016, 05:17 AM

Are the 41-110 recommended only for modded cars or will they work on stockers with just a tune, cai, and axle back

JCunningham · 04-12-2016, 05:37 AM

41-110 are the stock plugs. there is no need to change plug unless going forced induction or raising the compression ratio

5 hard runs didn't do that to your plugs. Just replace all of them and monitor. I would pull a few out every 5K-7K miles just to see how they are burning.

Are those stock plugs?

This ^^^^^ ... Then I'd check them after about 1K miles.

christianchevell · 04-12-2016, 08:26 AM

Or if you are cammed...running TR6ix is the NGK alternative.
