All the lines, MAF, IC piping are tight and in place....let me go check the plugs....they were replaced by me not too long ago, I want to say around 8,000 miles ago.

Are the battery cables on tight? Maybe the negative is coming loose under a load.

Plugs solved the issue....it just concerns me that all of a sudden it **** the bed. Cylinder 1's plug was way more fouled then the others.

If only ONE spark plug caused the problem, there is a bigger underlying problem. Sounds like oil or coolant or something is getting into that cylinder (or detonation) and fouling the plug. What does the plug look like?

That is exactly what I was thinking....the plug has corrosion around the hexagon (part you ratchet) and was fouled more than the other plugs...

Wow, I'm glad we could help. Maybe you should get this check out by a shop to see if your compression in the number 1 cylinder is lower than all the rest.

isnt that wierd how you install an amp and sub and right after your plugs go bad?

Car is having allergic reactions to modifications that are not performance enhancing....

That is all.

I think i am having the same problems as you blue by ray. I just threw in some race gas at the track and my **** started stubbling real bad at WOT. I felt the same thing like i was getting fuel cut, but i think it is the plugs. I had some NGK BRP8IEX's next day air'd to me. So hopefully i can swap them out and everything is cool.

Check all connections, where the spark plugs meet the wire, and where the wires meet the coils. Spray electrical cleaner on them if necessary. Make sure that you didn't hook up anything backwards.

Are you sure everything is tight? No loose connections? Make sure all the spark plugs are OK and have no been fouled.

EDIT: Wow I didn't see that you installed an amp...thats why you are having the problems.
