high acceleration sputtering, lacking power?
i tihnk this may actually be a problem, originally i would occasionally hear a sputtering farty noise unde rheavy acceleration, i assumed it was water in the exhaust and dismissed it, but lately it has been doing it more often, and seems to be sapping power, it HAS been very raininy and mor ehumid so it could be a larger accumulation of water i suppose, but how would i fix it, and what else could it be?

I'm partial to NGKs. TR60s are stock heat range [stock, no mods]. TR55s are one range colder [CAI, exhaut mods, minimum].
.050" or .055" gap for either. Pick the gap you want..
