Default MSP 03 with missfire at high RPM or Boost

Hi Guys.

I am a proud owner of a Mazdaspeed protégé 2003.5. I have owed this car since new. I have a little problem. I have a misfire only at high RPM (over 3,500) or under boost. I have changed the spark plugs and wires, but still have the same misfire. Do I need to check for a code??? is there any other possibilities that I am not looking at. The car runs good under idle and when normally driven. When you ask boost to it then it starts having the problem.

Thanks, Gus

Ok, finally found the problem. NGK Iridium 11 Spark Plugs gap at 0.045. As soon I gap them at 0.030-31 the problem was solved. Ran it for 15-20 min at the interstate. No misfire at all. Good vacuum at -22. Good boost at 8.5. will inform is the problem happens again.
