.070 gap on TR55's!!

Yup, I pulled out my driver's side TR55's today...and found that 2 out of 4 were at about .070(and carbon scored pretty bad) or so, and the other 2 were at .055 or so...Put back in the TR6's at .040 and can tell an immediate difference. Now I have to do the passenger side tomorrow afternoon...But I assume that a gap like this can cause some major stumbling issues, right? And that that big of a gap could make those 2 cylinders run rich die to not all the fuel combusting?

Keep in mind I drove for 85 miles on the first tank to get the initial programming...I knew they'd be fouled...I just expected all the same gap...And yes, there have been other issues...

Well, it is not quite black, but the white is definetly discolored due to a rich condition...But it is definetly not a lean condition...Not with the popping it does now...And the light show...
