I have been going back and forth between NC an SC every few weeks and its about 130mi. When i get on the 77 south/north and drive for about 5 min at 3000rpm in a 50/50 vac boost condition when i got WOT it stutters real bad for a few seconds, then runs good for a few seconds, i shift to 4th and it does the same thing just not as severe, then i shift to 5th and it barely does it.(i cruise for the first few minutes then got on it). I also have a random misfire at idle sometimes. I run BPR7ES plugs gapped a .28 and i had my CEL checked a while back that said misfire in cylinder 3. I pulled my plugs today and cylinder 3 had brown dust on the outside of it and the top of the plug/inside of the boot had a white powder like residue. Could my plug wires be what is causing this.(Mods in profile are up to date) Thanks.
 
I wont be able to get any major upgrades like fuel setup(Apexi Neo, 650 inj, AFPR, etc.) for awhile. But i did come across something, when i pulled the #3 plug wire, the connector wasn't completely on the plug(actually not sure if it was on it at all) so i pushed the connector closer to the boot/bottom and it made a CLICK sound when i re-installed. When i Test drove it, it seemed better but i can't tell for sure until i get back on 77.
