p0300 and plug issue

please i need help by the knowledgable fellas on this site. I've been sputtering bad at random times at around 4K'ish. Feels like it hits a brick wall, and doesn wanna move.. I usually let off, right when it happens, so maybe if i kept my foot down it would go into limpmode or something, but anyways. I jsut got the car back from the exedy clutch install and its happened two days in a row now, then I threw a p0300 that night. The plugs I have in there are brand new, and they are gapped at .035. My mods are 2.9, DP, gmpp exhaust, and a 90 shot. I havent sprayed on these plugs yet, but then again this isnt the first time this has happened. What plugs should I run, and what should I gap them at??
What is the problem?? could it be a blown piston or something??? I really have no clue, and I'm scared to give the car some gas, because I dont wanna blow something up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks (if you have any questions feel free to ask)

Chris

RE-GAP THEM FIRST.

If I tell you that again, i'm gonna kick you in the nuts. Don't ask about the plugs until you decrease the gap, that will tell you if you are having a problem.

Could also be bad gas, you did have to fill the car up after you left my house. Where did you buy gas? Low octane will amplify the detonation problem. Try a gallon of 103/104 unleaded, see if it clears it up at all.

One gallon of high octane isn't expensive, like $10. I'll check it all out, but seriously, have your boy at Advance get you a gap tool, they are usually sitting on the counter, just grab one next time you are there. I keep one on my key ring, just out of habit. Don't work from the worst possibility to the best, start with the simple things to eliminate them, otherwise you can get false symptoms of a more serious problem.

Lucky for you, I have a spare set coming, should have them in a day or two. We can swap them out and see if it clears it up. If so, I'll sell them to you for what they cost me.
