My 355 burns a little oil

which is okay. Its suppose to. The rings were gapped for some serious nitrous. It burns enough oil that within two-three weeks of moderate driving I have to add some (and depending on my foot that week)

I haven't checked my plugs since I put the motor in. I put some platinum tipped bosch plugs in from my old motor. All together I think these plugs have about 6,000+ miles on them. Im starting to think the plugs are a little fouled due the oil burning issue. Idling is getting a little off (dropping too low from where it use to idle). Im also thinking of just going with some autolites and calling it a day until I get ready for a colder plug for the nitrous.

Sounds like you have it figured out already.

I believe the Autolite 103s are colder than stock.
