ok, so the fargin' problem came back.
After I took out the other plugs, I gave them a good look over. And after searching on how to read plugs, it's came to me that with the mods I have the OEM plugs are too hot. So, I just ordered a new set that is one step colder with a new set of wires. They should be here next week and I'll let you know how it goes.

Yeah. Probably not a bad thing to do in the first place, and I hope it fixes the problem.

ya, one step colder, but the same .035 gap.
The place I got them from recommend a .032-.038 gap, so I figure .035 would do just fine.

Pretty much. I ordered them from AGP Turbo in Arizona.
I couldn't find anything in town. If you know what plugs you have and can find a parts store that has a good plug chart. You can just take in the part number for your current plugs look them up. The chart should show what plugs you have and where they are in the heat range for that size plug. Just have to get the new number from the chart for a colder plug.
Here's an example I found.
