Default Misfires?

So this problem has been bugging me for the longest time(7 months). WOT the car seems to miss and it shakes back and forth. So I figured it was either spark or fuel?? So Im under the hood looking around and notice theres sparks coming from a connector that is connected to all 4 coil packs on the passenger side. I take off each coil pack and notice one is corroded and change it with a new one. I also put in new tr55 plugs and msd wires. I still have the problem. I also changed the fuel filter but still no luck. I even switched to a differant maf sensor and still missing! Anyone have any ideas? Could the connector that I seen sparks coming from have gone bad, maybe I damaged a spark plug or something?
Had someone from sct ride around with me before and all we could pick up was random missfires.

sounds like its sparking / arching at that spot instead of the tip on the spark plug, i would switch that area with another wire and plug from any other cyclinder and see what happens.

also check for any lose ground wires in that area if any.

What I seem to hear is that MSD does not work well with the ls1. Use only dealer spark plugs!
