Problem: "misses at WOT", need help!! well i felt like cruising with the dual cutouts open making some noise on the streets.... anyways when i was cruising i went to floor it and all of a sudden the motor starts to struggle at wot and the all the needles on the guage cluster start goin crazy... i pull over and turn off the car thinking thats it, she's dead... went to start it up and has a hard time turning over. again with more gas and starts with a couple of backfires... it drives fine when babying it but when given more gas, the motor struggles, car bogs, and guage needles go crazy... anyone know what might have happened? it idles high on a cold start, revs fine in neutral, no obvious tapping sound from motor... anyone know where this newb should start? im thinking grounding wires?
mods are heads, cam, injectors, ls6 intake, ported tb/ oil pump, lts, etc...

ive never seen a ground wire on the tranny but, i did have a problem similiar to this, check youre starter wires, my rubber insulation was burned off by the headers so both power and ground kept touching and shorted but it only happened at wot. that may not be the problem but just another thing to check.
