the spring cannot handle 7psi of boost?
If they are 150/160 on the seat as posted they "should" be ok at 7psi with your cam. I'd still pull a valve cover and test the spring pressure to insure it is 150....easy insurance.
I ran the BP7EFS plugs at 0.32 at 18psi at 6700rpm without any problems. Time to spin some wrenches.

Yeah well at least you seem to of discovered the problem without having to open engine, etc. It seems that the wires arent burnt to the core which is why it seems it didnt happen till 5500rpm. It could of been much worse and glad to see that it is something that is not major. Now replace those bad boys and hit the track and show us some I'm sure to be impressive numbers. I see 8's in your near future, or at least low 9's. 
i had the same problem.... dont be embarrassed.
in fact, i was on 7 cylinders for the majority of the year this year, right from the start. my butt dyno was failing me, i thought i just got used to the power, lol.
i bet thats a relief though!
