Default Miss and Random Dash lights???

I'm a noob in posting, Admin if there's a better spot for this feel free to move!

Guys I'm in need of some help have a 98 Camaro Z-28 with No ABS or Trac control present for 5+yrs. and tuned computer, with some issues.

Here's the story, once 6+months ago the "low trac" light came on for a couple secs. and car missed a bit but cleared up quickly, so I never gave it a thought.
Now "low trac' light dimly flickers constantly and randomly will fully light up with the ASR light going out THEN car acts like its on a 2-step and don't want to go over 3K?

I thought BCM first but not sure how that could be affecting spark, all gauges are normal, also car has a standalone fuel system that never varies pressure during this random issue.

Thanks,
Adam

Default What am I missing!!!!

50+ views and NO insight or criticism?
I have No check light or history codes stored.
I've searched here and google with no avail, I've never had any issues with this car other than Trans. and the time bomb 10 bolt between the rear tires.

I'll get a vid tonight!!

This car has open exhaust so audio is not the best , this is half to 3/4 throttle and almost wide open towards the end of second video.

Default Update!!!

Last night after hours of searching for a cause of my issues, I gave up and decided to change plugs and look at them...While doing so I noticed a ground that went to the old ABS wiring "which is no longer hooked up" the eyelet going onto the strut tower appeared to have a crack at the base of connector, with No hopes of fixing my problem I put a new terminal on and to my surprise the issue was fixed...I cleaned every ground on the car that I thought was of importance. MISSED ONE LOL!

Not my pic. but this is the ground that made the act as if it had a 2-step installed.
