Default Multiple misfire at idle only

i have a 2002 t/a with sts kit on it and the car tuned by eastside preformance. When the car is in idle I have multiple misfires only in park & neutral and when I put it in drive all goes away. The scanner only shows 2-8 counts only in park and neutral. That makes the car idles little rough.
I checked the compression, all cylinders are good, everything else on top of the motor also good. Again, when the car is under load everything smooths out. Anybody can help me with this?!

I am seeing sorta the same thing, I have been told by many that this is caused by using a cam other than stock. I am curious if the crank position relearn would correct any of this.

Its most likley from a plug other than stock with a tighter gap. They are using probably a tr-6 or even a br7ef. Anything colder than stock will cause miss fire at idle, nothing to worry about though.
