White electrode

Hey Ive got a 97 civic si. Stock D16y8 other then intake header highflow cat. When cold the car bogs on acceleration but once above say 3500 rpm it takes off. I recently change the spark plugs with the reccomended NGK ZFR5FGP plugs. I checked them today and the electrode is very clean but a chalky white. What would cause it to run lean like this and would it have anything to do with the bogging?

chaulky white? Do they smell sweet?
Could be burning coolant.

Any way you could take a picture of the plugs?

are all four plugs white? If they are.. chances are you're running lean. It'd change the fuel filter if you haven't lately. If that doesn't solve it, time to diagnosis fuel delievery
