what did the plugs look like...plugs tell ALL
like this?
--incorrect heat range/overtorquing the plugs...if the insulator is seperated form the shell and the shell is not discolored...its torque.
or
knocking...over advanced timing...
or
pre-ignition (caused by advanced timing, lean conditions, )
a FULL tune-up needs to be done whenever spark plugs that look like above are pulled...
i'd also check the wires

it could be anything then. if he isnt using the right plug/correct gap, his tune is off, he's running too small of a pulley and getting a massive amount of KR....or a number of other things....
if your buddy doesnt want to share anything about his car he's going to have to figure it out himself..

sounds like he is a idiot then and needs to figure out himself. how is anyone supposed to help?
it's a gen 3 car, even if it was fast, which i doubt it is, it wouldn't be fast enough to be a secret. Just sayin...if he isn't telling anyone anything then he is fucked.
get hptuners or someone with a GOOD scanner (not that cheap autozone knockoffshits),
check out the o2s for lean conditions as well
it is more than likely running hella lean (causing plugs to melt).
if he doesn't want to share whats on the car...
start firing the parts cannon.
Do a full tune up with a proper gap...spark plugs come "pregapped" but really..why would you trust someone else when it takes 5 minutes to do it yourself and do it correctly?
tell him that he isn't driving a race car, back off the tune (timing), and enjoy the car for what it is before he starts walking everywhere like a homosexual.

Agreed with 10 sec. if I can beat him with my white car, then you need to tell modz 
check the spark plug gap. if he is running the wrong plug because his uncle replaced his Autolite 103s with 605s or stock heat range it could be monster knock or something.
fuel pump? running out of injector?

I can't think of any 3800's that melted plugs before it chipped a piston, or any that melted plugs at all without some nitrous. IMO if he's not spraying his car he has no idea what a melted plug looks like. I have some pics of mine at home, but ultimately i had NO ground strap, melted ceramic, and melted electrode. Car ran just fine, didn't even know it was melted until i got on it. As soon as i got on it i got spark blowout since the gap was technically almost .350 (was arcing from what was left of the electrode to the "thread" section of the plug). My assumption of what's wrong now is it's damaged somewhere. M90 cars don't blow out spark unless it's a BIG gap, upwards of .060+. I doubt it's blowing out spark which leads me to think it's related to the damage done when it supposedly "melted" the old 2 the first time. Or his Uncle put the melted ones back in 
i would do that to a noob trying to hide mods on an m90 car.

. Nitrous blower cam, yella terrra 1.6 roller rockers, i believe it has 42.5 pounds injectors may be wrong. And it has kenne bells boost a pump for some odd reason. I am gonna take a look at the car this weekend hopefully if all goes well, i really think its the plug gap cause he told me his uncle just put the plugs in without checking them. He should have A103s right? whats the correct gap for him? And the car did have nitrous on it, its a nitrous setup but due to the car not running the nitrous has been out and sold. Very wierd setup this car has, i personally think its stupid but thats just me. As for mod wise that should be everything, and a northstar tb. Think i got everything, any futher help is appericated from ya guys! THANKS!
