Default Getting a Miss Under a Load

when Im under a load I have a miss , its not horrible but its still killing me.... I just put a new set of ngk irridiums in it, wires have about 800miles on them and are 10.2's, still have it.... a couple days ago we but some "blueberry burnout" fuel additive in it but i ran that gas out , threw 10 in, ran that out, put 10 more in, and ran that out and just put 20 in the tank and its still going on...... opti is gm performance that I just replaced about 200miles ago... any ideas?

Wicked, if you sig is accurate you might try gapping them a little tighter, when my gap was to big it would idle and drive in town fine but under WOT it would cut out and miss above 3000 rpm. I'm using Autolite 104's @ .030 now.

Likely an ignition issue. Cylinder pressures are higher under load which can blow out spark if the gap is too large or too weak.

I would guess ignition as well.

MAF, o2 sensor, plugs, wires, opti, idk what else it could be.


I did plugs, wires, opti, and MAF all at once.

Check for above normal resistance on the plug wires. I had small misfires due to the helical conductor being broken at the terminal on my MSD wires. Repaired the wires and all had acceptable resistance.
