Ok, heres what I THINK may have happened.
Either a little bit of water got in the gas OR bad gas made it into my tank...or something completely different. Nonetheless...in first gear when running hard to redline, it misfires randomly past 8000rpm and sounds like some plugs are fouled.
I ran some seafoam thru it and made absolutely sure to run 93 in it (always do tho). I have had about 5 tanks thru it so far and its kinda cleaner but only when I run it slowly to the limit. If I run it quicker, it can still sputter.

SO...

Should I wait and keep running good gas thru it?
DO I wait and try a little more additive?
What about just changing the plugs out? I have the complete service manual and can do it at my dads shop so its not a huge deal...just more of a last resort type thing.

There is no PC3 on it yet, only a scorpio alarm going into the fuse box. I have had no issues with the wiring in some time (use to tho) and no warning light comes on so far...

In the rest of the gears it seems to run strong...seemingly...for now...
