Default The Problem

If I were to describe the prob, this is it:
At idle I get random surges, sometimes I dont quite get them, sometimes I do quite a bit. When im driving the car will start to jerk a bit as it hesitates a moment then gives a small burst of rpm. At wot, there is a sound that doesnt seem right, like a shifting between shifts or something.

Setup:
K&N cai
Pacesetter LTs
94 tranny in a 95Z with pcm tune
Yank 3200 (installed with 94 tranny when put in 95)

Stuff ive done:
Replaced a couple hoses to the throttle body.
Looked over vaccum hoses
Checked the egr and cleaned it
Sprayed the MAF with MAF cleaner
Sprayed the throttle body with throttle body cleaner
Made sure the plug wires were pushed into the spark plugs
Checked for exhaust leaks and tightened bolts
New o2 sensors

Ordered today:
TCC solenoid
MSD ignition coil

Any suggestions would be helpful, thank you.

How do your plugs look?

Do you have a logging system? TTS Datamaster etc...
