Car Is Sputtering During Nls?

ok so im driving home and felt the need to have some fun with NLS. Well going first to 2nd the car would like sputter (and not pop like NLS does i know the sound and do it all the time). but the car felt like it would lose power and sputter. Im pretty sure its just spark plugs just by what it was doing. also it wouldnt do it everytime. I prolly did 8 NLS and 4 of them would sputter. So heres my question i figured id changed the plugs with some 1 step colder plugs and and get a K&N drop in. but where can i buy one step colder plugs can someone maybe drop me a link?

IF YOU GUYS THINK ITS SOMETHING ELSE JUST POST IT UP.

Are you doing NLS with traction control on? I find it bogs a lot...my car sputtered after NLS once with TCS off, but has never since.

My car has been doing this since the day i pulled it off the lot with no mikes on it. this car is the worst car i have owned out of 6 that i had. i broke the linkage cables and the shifter last week and they tried to jimmyrig it back to gether and well i busted it the same day. i no lift shift everyday to and from work and it does it 5 times out of ten..sputter sputter loss of power and that f ing check engine light flashes at me! i have take it to the dealer 10 times for this and the morons say..well it does not have any codes it must be working ok...these underpaid underachieveing fat sweaty bastards they hire to wrench on these cars are used to old models with no turbo. i could fix the problem i know most of what it is..plugs, coilds and computer issues but if i fix it there goes that "waranfree"
