Default b18c1 del sol runs rough when warm

after driving a few miles and shut it down then try and start it 10-30min later it runs rough sounds like a subi instead of a honda and runs fine after it sits for a hr or 2 and im not sure where to start,checked plugs and wires and they looked fine
mods are msd sci-l box blaster 2 coil msd cap no name header and short ram zex nitrous kit apexi vafc
quick vid of it running rough http://youtu.be/sJd6dpO-dnM

pull a spark plug wire one at a time and see which one doesnt cause the idle to change.

pull the spark plug, is it wet with fuel?
switch 2 cylinder plug wires to rule out plug wires
pull cap and inspect

do you have a compression and a leak down tester?

As mentioned pull the plug leads and see if one of them does not change anything, also pull the plugs and see if your running rich, if so, check the ECT sensor. 94
