Question Need help; not sure what's wrong

cylinder 1 220 2 225
3 210
4 215
5 210
6 215
7 210
8 210

Thought for sure I had a broken valve spring, so I did the compression test. All seem within reason.

I pulled the valve covers, spark plugs, ignition fuse and fuel pump fuse. Opened the TB all the way.

Turned over the car 5 times for each cylinder; short bursts with a few seconds in between.

Should you do it with the rockers at normal torque or completely loose?

Symptoms: car shakes violently at any RPM over 2200rpm, logged misfires on cylinder #2 of 110 inside of 30 seconds and blew a P0300 code. I have tuning already, so it's not the misfire code from the cam; something doesn't feel right. Other ATAP info looked fine ( LTFT's, STFT's and O2's. )

What should I check next?

Crank pulley or loose bolt, Flywheel to clutch balance, u joint or driveshaft balance. Good luck!

Loose spark plug wire; I must need some work on my diagnosing skills, I had skipped right past that.

DOH!
