3500 rpm hesitation (i think) accompanied by backfiring.. any ideas?

anyways like the title says today i took my car out.. and i have always had a little bog at 3500rpm.. so i figured i just had bad grounds, never got around to running new ones because it wasn't bad.. but today is another story.

gets to around 3500 rpm (i think, tach wasnt working) and lurches and stuff, but it also backfires.. like constantly. like a steady backfire, no smoke though.

other than that it idles fine at around 850rpm, and nothing else blatently obvious.


im going to run new grounds this saturday.. anything else you guys think i should look at?

Check the boost sensor line to see if the orifice is still in place.
