Default Question for Slowhawk

My buddy has a 2002 Z only mods done are SLP Lid,Mac Mids,Loudmouth the other day he said it wasn't running right.I took it for a ride and once you get into it it starts to break up.Check all the plugs and wires they are only month old and none of the wires are burned.Checked for codes and there is no missfire codes or anything do you have any idea of what could be causing this?
Thanx

Is is detonating? Bad o2's would throw a code. Maybe it's the wires or how it's connected. otherwise like Don said the gas, maybe he put some 87 in by accident?
