Message	during a SZ dyno day when my fairly new PFRB-11B's had a misfire at high RPM on the dyno. Greg pulld the plugs and we found detonation rings around the plug electrodes. Plugs were less than 2 months old. We halted the tuning, left the car strapped to the dyno and tore off in separate directions at 4:00 on a Saturday to round up a set of EIX's (2 at one store, 4 at another). Installed and finished the tuning with no problems (same fuel, no detonation or misfire on the new plugs) and moved to the next higher fuel grade. Been running them ever since, and all the boosted Z's we dyno have a fresh set of EIX's installed as part of our pre-dyno checklist.
