Running Lean

hey guys,

i was working on the 8 today, and i made a very interesting discovery. my reny appears to be running lean! that would explain some of the symptoms that recently arose (Bad idle, hot engine temps,bogging) i did all of my necessary tune ups last year, Except for the fuel pump.

also it seems that i'm not getting enough fuel to my plugs, im going to be upgrading to a BHR fuel pump to try and solve this issue.

here are some pics of my Plugs, tell me what you guys think:

also we did a commpression test with a normal Compression tester, and each rotor read 90 PSI, is this to low?

You're gonna need a different compression tester. It needs to be able to store the data to record all 3 rotors. Or something like that. But you need a different tester.

check your maf and O2 sensors to see if there's anything corrupting them (mainly airflow)
