You need to find out if and why its started to detonate mate as that is almost certainly detonation damage.

I went to torque of the devil yesterday to grab new sparks and they pretty much said the same thing and told me to get it straight up there for them to have a look at!! I'll either persue it or break it!!

Maybe old/tired plugs?
Had a melted plug before, caused by upping the spec and not changing the plugs to run it in with.
You Live and learn tho.
Good luck with it.

Looks a nice car, just get it running right.

You can probably cure the det by either a bit more fuel pressure or grounding an octane wire or two in the short term, then get it mapped in the longer term.
