Ok, well at 6000 Rpms my car decides it wants to just go down to 3000 RPMs randomly, like a dead spot..... anyone have this issue before? Spark plugs?
 
In any gear, if i make a pull to 6000 RPMs it just gives out and drops to 3000 RPMs as if i was down shifting but it stays in gear. Its really odd, and i have no idea what the problem could be. Im thinking maybe the spark plugs, but who knows.... im hoping that someone on here has had the same problem
 
Kinda sounds like he's going into limp mode

...or he's a got a coil going bad, and it's arching at those RPMs, heat, and load.
