After installing an MPI supercharger I have fouled two sets of plugs already. I'm running the CR10 plugs instead of the stock plugs. Anyone else have issues fouling these plugs on a boosted sled?

Run the stock plugs gapped to .018". The CR10EK plugs are not boost friendly.

So what did your sled do when plug s fowled up start missing ,running rough ?
Initially it started really rough and then wouldn't start at all.

I have run the stock plugs for 4 years now with no issues. Still running the original plugs that came with the sled.

Make sure your never firing up your sled, moving it a bit, and shutting it off. Or starting it, idling it for a bit and shutting down. This will load up your plugs and if it never gets to operating temp they will never clean off and will eventually foul. Also what oil are you running?

How soon do you have your controller set to add fuel? If you're adding any fuel below the clutch engagement point, that could be part of your issue.
Your motor doesn't need any additional fuel at idle, so leave it at stock fuel settings until the point where the engine actually starts seeing a load, then bring the additional boost fuel in.
Also, the above posts are correct as well, so be sure you're letting it warm up if you start it.
I'm running CR10's on both my blower sleds, and haven't had any issues.
