Default My car bogs...???

When i'm driving in 4th and stepping on the gas with a constant pressure around 3500-4000 rpm, my car like bogs and just feels like theres no power. I'm going at a steady speed and all of a sudden it feels like my gas is cut off, and my car just loses power. It's somewhat analogous to the breaks being enaged very slighly for only a second. It only happens like once in the morning. I only have around 9300 miles on my car and drive I drive it normally. I do mash my car every now and then, but I don't work my car to the max or anything, like redlineing every gear, powershifting, and double clutching.

I get hesitation like that mostly when my engine gets hotter. If its hot outside or after sorta hard driving I notice hesitation fairly often. I can get it in all gears too. It probably comes down to the distributor, plugs or wires I'm thinking. I really should do some maintenance on those things soon.

Maybe we should run one step colder plugs....?
