3rd gear studder

3rd gear studder
Alright, here recently I have noticed the Evo has some issues while in 3rd gear. When you are on it and the RPM's get around 5K rpm's, the car feels like it studders, just for a second. Then it picks back up if you stay on the throttle. Car is in full boost. It doesn't do it in any other gear, just 3rd. And it doesn't do it all the time, kind of randomly. I experienced the same problem once before (had water around the spark plug cylinder) but I checked all the plugs and everything is fine. Anyone have any ideas?
Car just turned 12K miles on OEM plugs. Would that possibly be the culprit?
Thanks.

If you're running higher boost levels, it's probably knock.. especially if you're running a aftermarket open element filter.

I will try replacing my plugs before I do anything else. Thanks Malibu. If not, I will be back.
Does anyone know if you can pick up the OEM plugs at AutoZone or PepBoys or do I have to get them from the dealership? I can't remember what brands they carry...
Thanks for the info guys.
