actually my freind was driving the other day and he did rev it pass redline. and even told him to shift cuzz he was past 6000-6100rpm. did you see the plugs? how do they look?is there a distinct sound when you have bent pushrod? i have had the car on since then but it sounds normal. it idles real rough and the car starts to shake occasionally while im trying to scan.
i hope its not a bent pushrod
thanks

Check your plugs and wires, clear the code and see if it comes back.

More importantly how does it run? Any lack in performance or does it feel fine? Try using a different gas station next time you fill up.
If everything mechanically checks out, motor runs good ect i'd look into disabling your missfire counts or raising the limits. Methods on how to do it can be found in the pcm tuning sticky.

havent ran it since the code come on. when the code came on it was running real rough and no throttle response. so i parked it. after a couple of days i scanned with atap. i logged 3 seperate times and out of the 3 times 1 didnt havent any problems then the other two it idled rough for a few seconds a couple of times.

I had that code before my updated mods every now and then. The past weekend I added heads, ls6 intake, ported TB, PCV conversion, MSD wires, plugs, and new pushrods as well. Ran it this week and got the code again. My car runs fine and when I dynoed it with just the cam and LT's I got 350 rwhp. I've been told its a bogus code sometimes and guys just delete it.

check to be sure you are getting good spark on all cyls. Something is randomly causing all cyls to not fire. P0300 is harder to trace because it's usually random and in all cyls not a specific bank or cyl.
What do your o2 readings look like (high or low millivolts)? LTFT and STFT's high or low?
Last time I had a p0300 code, it was a loose connection on the main harness that fed all the coils.

if the o2's were bad wouldnt it set a code for bad o2's and not the random engine misfire? a freind of mine the works for chevy said i can be my front o2's or fuel injector problem. y would these set the random engine misfire code?
thanks
