having problems with brand new msd opti
having problems with brand new msd opti had been on the car 2 days then went to the track. as soon as i run, this starts happening:
when im at wot and about 6k, it misses so bad the tach wont move. its been very on and off. under any other circumstance, it runs great. i called msd and they said if its not throwing a code for high ir low resolution, its not the opti.
any thoughts?

idk thats why im posting a thread. i kinda thought the timing may have been off when they made it so i asked msd how to set it back to factory settings. havent driven it since that yet. was kinda thinkin coil. its an msd blaster, been on there for
a year or 2, i guess. it does seem to get worse when its been running for a while

icm is new but i got a spare so i guess ill swap it. i wish i could use the efi system. kinda broke at the moment tho. plus i have a double roller so idk how thats gonna work

i am not familiar with these opti's but don't they have a timing adjustment... have you tired to play with that and see if it changes... could also be valve float... what plugs and their gap ?
update: looks like i fixed the problem. i replaced the icm and reapplied the di electric grease. drove home wot the whole way, didnt miss once and ran real strong. wont no for sure till i drive it for a little while but this is the longest its gone without missing since the opti went on. if it does it again, im warrantying the msd and getting a delco. (which i have had)
