Default 96 firebird formula missfire issue

Hello I have a 96 firebird formula and it's running alittle rough.. I just replaced the opti spark , plugs , wires,and coil. when I'm coming out of first and second gear it seems like it is running Ok but when iget up to 4th 5th and 6th it starts to shake and in sixth the shifter shakes if igive it more gas it's missing somewhere I can't figure it out been messing with it for ayear and I am stuck. Maybe icm ihaven't tried that or maf sensor maybe any help would be awesome thanks

Have you checked your fuel pressure? Could be a tired fuel pump.

Are you getting a check engine light?

How does your trans mount look?

Do you think its misfire or drive line vibration?
