My wires are new 8mm silicone, and new plugs(although, I may need to check current firing condition of plugs).

Danny, some people on this list swear by Bosch platinum plugs.  Even more people on this list swear AT them.  If you're using the platinum plugs (or even if you're not), I suggest you swap them for the regular Bosch plugs.  They go by part number W8AC or 7502.  For about six dollars you can put a set in and see if that cures what sounds to me like a misfire-under-load problem.
 
Welcome to the list, good luck, and let us know what the answer turns out to be.
