Noticed something funny when changing plugs
Changed the spark plugs, and when I pulled out the old ones, the 3 cylinders on the passenger side of the truck were significantly more brown/ugly than the 3 on the driver side. I wouldn't say "fouled" but just had more browning on the porcelain, and a tiny bit more soot on the electrode. what could be causing this?

Never seen it like that on a whole bank, usually one cyl. Could have something to do with a weak spark. I am not too familiar with the 3.slow, does the pass side have a longer run on the plug wires? Also are the fuel rails seperate. Could have gotten something in the pass rail and made the injectors dirtier than the driver ones? Just some thoughts...
On a side note, whats the SS run the 1/4 in? Looks FAST

That's just in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere the other cylinder bank would have that problem. Need to get a turbonator to swirl the air around and stop that...

I forgot about the turbonator, that is important. Good post Flamedx4. LS1, you'll also need to check the canooter valve to make sure the sine wave frequency is correct. Otherwise, the foscarnate module will only adjust the flow of hydrogen particles to the drivers side bank. That said, I'd also check the JDFC (jenkins dual flow cantabulator) to make sure that wasn't leaking. We all know what kind of problems that can cause. Good luck LS1, we're all pulling for you!

I AGREE!!!!!!! Must not have done the Y2K upgrade....delayed reaction...

Note: Don't forget that high performance engine parts like oil caps and valve covers, have to made of anodized aluminum to be a valid high performance part. Don't be fooled by imitators!
Apparently blue anodization adds 15hp more than red, but supporters of red anodization claim 17hp over blue!
