Slow and getting slower

Looks like it has over 500 likes, not too bad
I pulled the plugs to investigate the slight misfiring my narrowbands were showing me...
Anyone ever seen a green spark plug tip? They were all this color except 1 and 3. Did some research and found this on tech:
"One sign of heat used by some professionals is electrode color. Many--but not all--spark-plug electrodes have an alloy composition that will oxidize green when subjected to high temperatures (see Photo 2, again). This nickel oxide on the center wire and sidewire would show up first at the tip of the electrode--the hottest part--and progress from there, depending on temperature. Excessive green oxide may signal it's time to change to a colder plug. Several causes of high spark-plug temperature are described in the boxed information at left. The main thing to keep in mind here is that not all electrodes oxidize (turn green) at the same rate, if at all. Therefore, your best bet is to turn to a technician with experience reading plugs." http://grounds-mag.com/mag/grounds_m...g_spark_plugs/
I suspected I needed colder plugs so I went to orileys and bought some B8EFS for $2 each (everywhere online is $2.50 +shipping!) and they should be here in the morning.
Looks like I caught it in time before any damage.
