Prosport, mine are only corroded on the exhaust but also some in the combustion chamber also. Pretty much everywhere the gas is being burnt.
This is a race car only and I do use Nitrous a few time a year but only up to 250 HP shot and it is a conservative tune up with plenty of timing retard.
It does have a sand blasted look to it!

My plugs always look good.

I don't think it's from the gas, it's from condensation. IMO




... corrosion on alum is from water
