I have a Jackson Racing Supercharger. The air filter is close to the stock location. It did not appear wet.

When this happened I was pulling out of the gas station on the way to the freeway. It happened under moderately heavy acceleration at about 4,000 rpm's.

It was quite upsetting because it felt like the traction control kicking in, but like a total cut of power. Then the power kicked back in and lurched the car. It was very violent.

Maybe I picked up some oil on my tires as the gas station?

I may as well do the plugs anyways. I think they are only good for 60,000 miles

Gonna throw in my 2 cents in support of Hums water in the gas theory. What you described nails my past experiences with that situation. Also explains why the problem lessoned and then disappeared even in the rain. A bad plug will not give total power drop and then just get better again.
