Drop your gap to .030-.035 and see how it likes it.

damminit i use shell 91 all the time... i actually thought it is running rich i used 1/4 tank already and i have only driven it 35mi without going over 2,5k and when i did floor it both times smoke barrled out i dont know what color cuz it was at night i saw it in the rear view

would spark loss ie. broken wire cause all the cyl's run like crap or no?

ya pucks right .035 i just thought about it i was running comp 306 on that motor.that cam bleeds off alot more cylinder pressure than stock mabe if you had a hotter ignition system you could go with a bigger gap.

you are blowing the spark out causing multiple cylinder missfire at the higher rpm's.

the map code i get somtimes because of low manifold vacum from the cam.Do you think it is possible there is an intake leak between the maf and the intake manifold causing low vacum and unread air to enter the intake.that will set a maf code also i believe?

check it out this is also possible that your gap is so big that the spark would rather travel out the wire then jump across the electrode.this will also become more likely at higher rpm too.
