When I took the car back out it was still popping at high rpms so I checked out my wiring and noticed I had a loose + and - wire on my coil so I tightened it and and the popping is goooone.

You need to go over that car and check all the bolts like I do every year for the hell of it.

Yea I took my time and went over the whole car when I found the loose coil + and - wires on the coil. My car has tons in it. My spark plugs used to be jet black with carbon on it due to a weak spark and now since I tightened the + and - wire on my coil my spark plugs has been burning clean ever since. So I was actually having lean pops at high rpm due to a weak spark and not being able to burn off all the gas it was getting at WOT.
