yea i may soon, neone else have ne suggestions on wut it could be it seems too kinda flutter when im accelerating, liek too much/little air or fuel maybe, it gets alittle better when i take off the hypertech programming
What plugs and wires did you buy? The only thing I can think of is either the wires are defective (which happens) and one or more is arcing, that would explain the hesitation, or the new plugs are getting fouled to easily, I have seen that happen alot with the Bosch plugs in the LT1s. The firing tip is so small and the combustion chamber pressure is so high those little german guys cant take it.

Verdad Gallardo Anti Seeze, you know it is grey lubricant to keep the plugs from seezing up so you can wrench them out with ease the next time you replace them. Did some parts store guy tell you that the plugs where pre-gapped too
It sounds like you have 2 plug wires on the wrong positions. Did you follow the old trick - "Replace 1 wire at a time from end to end"? It's easy to get 2 mixed up and the car will run but crappy. I've done it twice, and seen it a hundred times.

Man I learned to gap, check, gap, check, tiny bit of anti sieze then install...I don't want to talk about doing the plugs in wires in the 96 I had...must not sleep must not sleep, the plugs will get me...
