i just replaced the plugs about a hour a ago pretty sure they had never been changed. and yes i was driving it pretty hard the other night. So I'll just clear it and see what happens.

I don't know how many miles your car is working with but regardless if you are tuned and the plugs have never been changed, it most certainly was a bad plug causing the misfire. When you are tuned, it's recommended to change your plugs more frequently than if you were running a stock car. Personally, since I am tuned, I change my plugs every 15k miles or so just for peace of mind even if I'm not seeing any misfires.

Run a compression test and see if you have low compression in cyl 3
