Misfiring in the Second Gear

I was like pulling in the 2nd gear tonight when I felt like the car suddenly bogged and then just kept on groing(rpm wise). It happend before hitting Rev. This is like the second time that this happend to me in like a week. Don't know if it's the spark plugs, but they're not even a month old..

Plz let me know if you guys have any ideas Thx.

yeah I'll try it out and see what happens. But the wierd part is that it doesn't happen that often. Cause I've been driving the car this whole week without any problems.

can you be more specific about your mods, what kind of plugs, what the gap is, and under what conditions it's missing?

+1 for it being the plugs more then likely. What plugs are you currently running and at what gap? Also a list of your mods would help as d4u2s0t said.

You have the GM stage 2 pulley, or you have a true 3.0 pulley? If you have a stage 2 pulley then you really don't need colder plugs. If it is an aftermarket 3.0" pulley then colder plugs are ok.

BKR7E are gapped .035 from the factory. You should probably be around .038 ~ .040 with Stage 2.

If you got the stock plugs put those back in and run it. I had the same thing with my BRK's and I think it was because I had taken them out and put them back in over the seasons that wore out the seal ring.Stock plugs have not done it for me yet.
