Default Pics of spark plugs after 1500 miles on new supercharged 416

This is a pic of 7 of my spark plugs after 1500 miles on my new supercharged 416. Pic includes only 7 plugs. #7 is a bitch to get out and I did not have the time or patience right now. They look good to me but I am no mechanic. Any of you supercharger gurus see anything to be concerned about?
Thanks, Michael

Before you post the pics know that a proper reading of the spark plug should occur after a WOT pull and ignition killed. 1500 miles is going to show a lot of slow speed driving and won't really give an idea of what's going on.

You should get the car to operating temp, remove old plugs, install a new set, do a nice long WOT pull on a straight away and kill the ignition at the top. Coast to a stop, pull those plugs and put the old set back in. This is why guys do this at the strip because of safety.
