Default breaks up under load

need some ideas on where this issue is coming form.

2004 GTO forged 347 78mm turbo 4l80 9.6:1 compression 230ish cam 3400ish stall.

in park the car free revs fine, snappy response idles and revs fine. even when snapinging the throttle open and closed quickly..

once it is put in gear the idle gets rougher, and if there is any load it will break up and show lean on AFR guage. something new is the gas pedal feels like it is pushing back when it does it. its cable not electronic.

im at a loss where to look. new crank and cam sensors along with 3 bar MAP sensor.

not sure what else to say need any more info just tell me here is a copy of the current tune and a basic log I need to set up new configs still ..

any help will be accepted!!

Check if all the spark plug wires are fully on. This used to happen to me.

Ohm plug wires had the same issue like 5 plug wires were in the 500+ range and should have beeen in the 40 low 50 range.

My vote is the wires. Get some used stock ones you know aren't burnt and just try them and see what happens.

You know what is much easier to find than a set of known good used spark plug wires? One of these. Test your wires before you spend a dime on another set

Hows your voltage on the car? My car was pretty low on voltage (9-10v) and it really messed with my injectors. it was fine driving around but as soon as it transitioned into boost, it broke up really bad.

If you do it on a rainy/damp day or maybe even spray a mist on the engine you can really see an arc.
