Engine Hesitate 7,200 Rpm

Hello guy,late weekend during the 1/2 roll race,I realize an engine hesitate about 7,200 just after shift 4 gear,after secs a car pull forward again.
Car has 7.400 miles
Sparks OEM(never change)
Engine VT2-625 6,5 PSI
Fuel 95 AKI+NF Race Octane Booster.

Questions 1-could be a spark malfunction(pre ignition)?
2-could be a coil malfunction ?
3-Lets suppose it could cause by spark failure,HOW ABOUT THO CHANGE the SPARKS for a colder like HKS-M45HL ?

Change your plugs first. This is usually what causes it. Only other thing that would cause hesitation at that RPM is improper fuel delivery but that would be very rare.

i'm not familiar with the octane booster but it could have fouled your O2s. do you have the stock cats/xpipe?

For ESS 625 or 650 the best thing is stock plugs and run 93 octane minimum with less than e25 and it will be perfectly reliable and make the most power this way.

Octane boosters can foul our ion sensitive plugs fairly quickly - although one can of that stuff alone is unlikely to cause this type of issue. Also, too high of octane can cause the car to run slower/less power than simply good 93.

If your spark plugs come out with an orange coating on them, it's from the octane boost. You don't want to use octane boost in these cars.

You would probably throw a code eventually with a bad o2. I'm guessing it's the plugs or a coil pack. I had 1 coil pack go out and I lost some power but it never threw a code. Only use the correct OEM NGK spark plugs.
