About spark plugs bad or what?

Hi guys!!! I recently tune my car with methanol/water...

I bought like 2 months ago a set of NGK Iridium BPR7EIX for my evo.... Now, I use Meth/Water like one month ago and yesterday my car have a problem like ignition problem and AFR up to 11.8 (tune AFR is 11.5 with meth) and the car feels horrible... I think maybe it´s spark plugs... I have new parts in the car (HKS cams, FMIC AMS, Meth/water) but it´s possible the spark plugs dies???

Regap your current plugs to .022 or so; try that first before getting new plugs. You have to close up the gaps a bit when running a lot of boost.
