Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm back to the factory NGK's because of that bad experience. But I do wonder what makes up the difference in price. Iridium seems more expensive by default. But what do you get for the extra $18?

+ 1 on the possible spark blowout
I've encountered the same issue on rare occason... Pretty much as full boost hits, it sputters and looses power...
I could also hear it, sounded electrical, like a series of small pops. Luckily I was logging at the time... It registered as knock, but it was false...
I was told not to start with the gap of the plug... That would just be a band-aid... If it continues to happen look into the coil or wires (and new plugs)
Is your tune completely finished? If the car is still running rich, that might be contributing.

I spoke to frenchy about this...
his tune was done pre walbro 255 install so he's going to be retuned for that...I'm sure it's incredibly rich and I also suggested to go ahead and close the gap on the plugs to .023 instead of the stock .026 on those plugs.
