what kind of fuel management are you using? You're probably clogging the cylinders with fuel between shifts. does it also backfire when you rev the engine?

Backfiring is a result from running rich. This "backfire" you are talking about, is it a KAPOWWW from your exhaust in between shifts or a "VAAVAAVAA" hesitation sound while under boost? If its the vaavaavaa hesitation (i know im technical) your gap is most likely off. Gap them to .030-.032 and get NGK-BRK7e-11's.
