Default engine misses at freeway speeds

I just recently had my turbo gsr running in my crx... and i was driving to CRXPO and my car would miss once in a while on the freeway.

I have stock ignition stuff and new plugs, one setting colder. My intake air temperature was like 110 - 120 F, according to uberdata.

maybe it's getting too cold for these plugs?
what should i gap the plugs to?
new distributor? any ideas appreciated

the gap is like .033 atm..
i had it at the stock setting from the plugs (.044), and then i dropped it... seemed to help a bit.
I'll drop down to around .029 or something and see what happens
