Default Ls1

I have a freshly rebuilt 5.7ltr ls1 under acceleration I randomly have what sounds like a misfire between 3-5k rpm. I’ve put on a scan tool and it says all my coils are sparking and my plugs look good and are new, I have a vx ss it’s also cammed and has had a tune previously to the rebuild. Any help please guys I’m sick of pouring money into it....

Possible dirty injectors.? Any "changes" to the engine when the rebuild was done? Displacement, headers,intake,TB,etc.?

My car started misfiring bad from a dirty MAF. Don't know if that helps you, but cleaning that helped me a lot.

Dirty maf, lazy O2's, fuel pump straining to maintain pressure, bad tps, or a handful of other things. Start with cleaning the maf and checking fuel pressure under load since those are cheap to do.

it’s had a maff tune so there is no maff sensor, what is tps?

TPS is throttle position sensor.

I'd lean towards fuel pump since it tends to start out with the symptoms you described. After that I'd say if you did a rebuild and are still running an old tune it might be worth getting a dyno tune just to make sure everything is still good. Maybe in the build something was changed that the old tune isn't working well with.
