the Z.

I bought new spark plugs to see if that fixes the misfire. I heard it could also be caused by an exhaust leak so I'm going to take a apart my whole exhaust and do new gaskets. I also need to figure out what's up with my cats, I think I burnt them up honestly. I guess they aren't rated for the track use I've put them through.....

I might need a hand if any of you guys are available. I just need a free weekend first.

Seriously? An exhaust leak should not cause a misfire. That's a whole different matter. You are going to replace $100+ worth of gaskets to do that? Don't bother. I can't even begin to speculate what would cause a multiple cylinder misfire but it isn't your exhaust. If you burned up your cats, yeah, replace them. But the misfiring is up top somewhere. Electrical/ECU/timing... I'd groom it completely first and then see what gives. I would look on the intake side first.

I agree. What he is describing I had a couple of times in my last Z which was also a 2009. I'd hit the gas (dd not track), and it would spudder. Reminded me of and old car like there wasn't enough gas going to the carburetor or water in the gas. It was like the VDC was kicking in, but affecting the engine. Hopefully that makes sense. Maybe we could go to the hobby shop on the base and do an inspection. (I need to change my oil anyway)
