On my race car with MSD 7 I drilled a 1/2 inch hole between every terminal to control the ionazation---otherwise it would run fine one pass and and then break up at the top end on the next pass--

Now---theory vs facts---why does this show up so much on these cars??? as they are generally run at high power levels the amount of spark/voltage/amps to fire these wide sparkplug gaps is more than a general cruiser type car and also the MSD is multi spark so the issue is multiplied. the carbon if not touching sparks pretty bad, and the ion a zation is terrible---burns off the carbon, and the cap is full of ionized particles of whatever you want to call the air inside the cap ---it took me 8 holes to stop it on the pro stocker, on top fuelers people had went to CO2 cooled magnitoes!!!!!
