Default Spark plug fail?

Not even 3 months with the new set of densos ITV 22 a enginelight and got to auto zone and its a miss fire on #2. I go home and check it out and a chunk of metal at the tip of the spark plug is melted off. They were gap at .030. Replaced them all with some from auto zone temporary. Do i need to go two step colder. Im hitting 19 psi.

.028 is the gap you need.

Mine was cause first by over boosting and detonating. Once the ring land was damaged it started to wear away. Once oil started to blow passed the rings that cyl was constantly running hot and detonating cause oil lowers the octane in that cyl. Vicious cycle. The Leg is soft enough where I don't think it would cause much damage. the ceramic on the other hand can fuck shit up.
