so u can basically run open downpipe cause of the cutout.im sorry but i dont see it being backpressure.hell even if it was ud still make quite a bit more power then ur saying u are.
The other thing that has me stumped is I am running a air fuel of 10.8 to 1 right now and the plugs look brand new. I put new plugs in it and made some blasts and the plugs came out looking off the shelf new. Only a little discoloration on the ground strap. With it running that rich there should be evidence on the plugs. Not sure if this is too relevant but I thought it was worth mentioning.

We have good and bad news. Bad news 1st. We performed a exhaust pressure test and we only have 30psi so backpressure is not a issue. Good news is while doing the test I did it at varying pressures with 15psi being the final and while spooling it up at 50mph the car decided to wake up. It lit the tires up,shifted,and tached that gear too. The car shot sideways almost into oncoming traffic. Totally caught us off guard! I have spooled this thing 100 times and never did it come alive until then. It felt awesome. I have since taken it out and it is still screwed up. I have moved the A/F all over with no change. I just can't see it being the coils when #1 it is rich and #2 it is not missing or back-firing.
Guess I should go after the coils next. This is just f---ken fustrating and is really pissing me off. Of course I wasn't data logging when it came to life. I am going to double check the intake track and then I guess move on to testing coils and such. Any other suggestions in light of the new info? I will keep testing and keep you guys posted.

did u check all your grounds?whats your fuel setup?im still going back to the plugs looking new,thats either a fuel issue(but ur stating u have a 10.8 A/F im assuming from a wideband) which leaves a spark issue

I am leaning toward a ignition problem too. I am being told to mess with the dwell settings so I will try that but I feel it is a wiring issue because I had this kit on my stock motor with no problems. I am trying to get in touch w/ a buddy that can get me wiring diagrams from Alldata.
