Default Car lags at WOT.

From my other thread I had though I got water in my oil but it turned out I did not. I took it to my mechanic and a sample of oil.. He said that no water in it, just had to be sure guys. All gauges read normal and the car runs cooler now by about 5 degrees. Anyways, it lags and shakes a little bit at WOT..

Could bad plugs and wires cause this? I am at 42k with originals on a modded car that runs 12's. I just got my wires and plugs into today. MSD wires and NGK TR6 plugs.
