Sounds like anti-lag? Haha, that's cute. Yeah, that was sputtering caused by foulded plugs. If you have an VIII, go snag some NGK BPR7ES at Autozone and gap them to .026.

Flashes don't ever erase themselves.

I have never fouled my plugs that badly, even with nitrous and c16 and 9 passes at the track in one night. You guys sure its that, change them, NGKBPR8ES or 7ES, its under 8 bucks for 4 plugs at advance discount auto parts. I run the 8ES due to nitrous, but most people use the 7ES's here for there bolt on cammed cars. Change them and get back to us. The worst fouling I have ever let my plugs get to was at like the top of each gear it would break up on nitrous. Just got out of it and got new plugs.

KartaRailed, it happens all the time. When they foul out, that's what they do. It happens to me every few months, which is why I always keep a bunch of spare sets handy.

It's not a matter of "worst fouling." When they go, they go...it's not a sliding scale of fouling. It should first show up at peak boost.

Is that something new since you moved to a higher elevation or has it always been like that? Seems a little extreme, what heat range?

A few questions

#1 you say that the a/f "usto be" 11.2 - WAS this with the Dyno Flash

If YES -

Then the flash settings do not change in time to make the car sudenly rich

When a car gets richer it is usually a boost leak

Another option is an ignition problem - but that usually shows lean

Did you gap the new plugs properly? It would be hard to believe that it would do the same thing on new plugs.
