Spark plug wire mix up....

Ran twin plug engine. with two lower plug wires swapped. Engine ran terrible. Found plug wires corrected my mistake car continues to run bad. Pulled plugs on side that sounded like position of mis. Found a plug fouled replaced plug car still isn't running good at high rpm. Will pull alll plugs and look at condition. Car idled and drove fine below 5 grand above that it runs horrible with a miss and no power. Car is parked in garage and wont be driven till fixed. Ran a combination event over the weekend where we did auto cross and track event to together. The car actually ran well in the auto cross event just the high speed straights on track car was horrible.

Have you been data-logging to review the state of the tune under these conditions?
