i thought spark to but wouldn't it do it all the time. I put in new plugs, still does it could it be staving for fuel under high load

spark problems often occur when it's much more critical for the spark to have only one path to earth hence higher rpm's. sometimes spark problems can be worse under load, similar to fuel supply issues.
