sputtering problem

i have a question whenever i slam on the gas (WOT) there gets a sputtering effect. i dont know if it is the plugs. so i am asking anyone if they have a suggestion as to what it could be. it feels like it isnt getting enough fuel....

Did you buy the car used with all those mods or do them yourself? You make no mention of a reflash or stand alone. If you or someone else slaped all those upgrades on there with out a proper tune, that's your problem right there.

If you list mods/tunes in order, it will help. Include when you change spark plugs

Where are you located, and what's the weather like in your area? More importantly, has it been cold lately?

When I have experienced this problem it has usually been due to a poor connection in between the plugs and wires. This was back when I was running aftermarket wires. You just can't beat the solid connection you get from the oem wires.

edit: oh and like smoked I repaired a few stripped out coil bolt holes in the valve cover but the problem still occured until I went back to stock wires.
