I was still pulling p0300 codes when I dropped it off, could be due to the total rebuild of parts, cam, heads ect. Wires and coils were working fine before the rebuild, but maybe the plugs could be suspect, as I had p0300 the last time I had that blower on with the same plugs.

So anyway I'm hoping anyday now, it's getting to the point where I can't take it anymore.

Long waits to get into a dyno around here, so they kinda got you by the *****.
Brand new granatelli wires last summer, so I'm hoping/assuming they are still working. But I didn't ohm check them.
It's up to them to sort it out now, but hopefully if it's mechanical they start with the plugs first.

what plugs are you running? tr6..br7? i just switched to br7 gapped at .030 because of the cylinder pressures and temps... smoothened the power curve pretty well.

Just talked to the tuner, said it doesn't actually seem to be missfiring, so I'm assuming they can tune it out. Other than that he said for me to give him a shout on Thursday, so my fingers are crossed he gets around to it.
I leave out of town on Sunday, so I'm not going to have much chance to drive it untill I get back in two weeks.
