injected stock 19lbs stock heads and fpr 255lph pump and everthing else on motor is either new or aftermarket, trick flow setup, only thing left to do on it is fuel and heads i have 30lb injectors and mass air for them but think it prolly overkill

what part of the plugs are you looking at???
you need to look way down inside, its easier to just cut the threaded portion off to see the plug... |

and the timing i refuse to set to my liking with a light so i do it be ear until it runs the way i like it then check it with light and it says 14-16* which seems reasonable

White on the electrodes is normal.

That is not tip burning. When the tip burns, it is not longer there. White electrodes are normal.

thanks for the link that helped alot and after reading it i read the old plugs and it appeared to be a little too advanced on timing and i need a colder plug, then pulled one of the new ones and it looks as tho i got the timing right on where it says it should burn and the first three of the threads are burned and a little of the forth so i could use a colder plug still but its not to bad

but that doesnt solve my problem maybe its not the plugs, at any rpm under 3000 it spudders until i get on it then it runs perfect
