Default Car not acting right

I have a 99 camaro with a 2001 LS1 motor in it. When i try to do a burnout the car seems to bog down but then after a a few seconds it will spin the tires. But when ever you try to jump in the gas from a dead stop it bog's down then takes off. What does anyone think could be wrong with it. I just replaced the stock coils with 8.1L truck coils and got new plugs but my wires are MSD and i have had them for about 2 years. Please help me i am going crazy trying to figure this out.

It can be more complicated than that...but honestly...I wouldn't be suprised if that's the problem.

Possibly misfiring, but seems like you did the whole ignition....auto or stick?

Is this a new development after the tune was done?
