My spark plugs have fowled out! HELP!!

Well i guess my brp8es fowled out. The car has moved 500ft and the plugs went bad already...What could be the issue, will i have problems traveling 7miles to my house tomorrow?

Full build with hta86
Apexi power fc *could it be cause i havent set the injector size and latencies yet*?
Stock Ignition
880's (borrowing my buddies till my replacement plug for my 1200's get here tomorrow)

yeah there coverd , i dunno cause i havent seen the car, this is what the local shop has told me, they moved my car from the top to the bottom lot and the car stalled out and they had trouble starting it.

I have not set the apexi power fc datalogger yet to adjust to the fuel injectors could that be the problem?

you fouled the plugs due to too much fuel entering... same thing happened to me... get new plugs but get the injectors scaled first

Strongly suggest a wide band just to see how rich you really are.

Its b/c you're dumping too much fuel into your car. Put stock injectors back in and stay out of boost until you're able to be properly tuned for larger injectors. You can do it yourself via ECUFlash too; just research a bit and its really not that tough.
