Default Need help on drivability

When i bought my trans, it missed and ran really rough from a cut wire and broke ceramic on a plug. These were both on the passenger side so im sure the O2 got extra fuel from it going unburnt. Now i got MSD wires and fresh platinum ac delco plugs and it runs really good and strong. My only issue is the car off of idle it seems to hesitate for a split second and then rev. It never actually dies but it sure seems to lose some RPMS before it actually revs and make power. Ive had the car scanned for codes at autozone and its actually codefree from anything. I want to change the O2 sensors, but if they are both working id rather put the money into other maintenance items.

Make sure all the plugs wires are on good and not burnt and also try cleaning the MAF

It's not really missing it's just like a hesitation or stumble.

i had the same symptoms and my CAI barely came undone and caused my imp to hesitate. Put it back together tightened the clamps, and never hesitated again.
