what are you calling High RPMs? Because even with a new opti, the OE style optis are know for misfires at higher RPMs. Have you checked the Knock Sensor?

It is a MSB opti spark, so high RPMs shouldn't be a problem. I don't know if he has measured how much vaccum it is getting but i'll ask. Thanks alot. More advice is appreciated.
