DAMN! The NOS trouble shooting manual states:

High RPM misfire is caused by insufficient plug gap. Set gap to .030-.035

Or weak ignition/ignition component failure

thats the last thing we are going to try, I HIGHLY doubt a 75shot is going to blow out at .038

as for a bad coil pack, should we just check that they spark or get some kind of volt tester?

i use a tester that can screw in and out and its marked from 0 to about 50 KV at 50 KV the spark can jump about a one inch gap on my tester.

That's my high tech method, my tool box wouldn't be without one.

I know this may sound dumb, but the schrader valve on the fuel rail has been removed right. If you used teflon tape it can come off and cause a blockage in the line. Check that the lines are clear. Your plug gap is fine. May want to pull a plug after a run to see how it is running. Try to log your computer on the test runs also.

Yeah, it's removed, no tape if I remember right. We tested the noids and nozzles yesterday, they are spraying how they should be.

What reading should we look for on the volt meter?

thats the problem, its doing it troughout the whole rpm range. the only thing i can think of is that either its a coil, or if im not getting enough fuel my pump could be not up to it. i didnt think that coils could go partly bad, i thought either they work or they dont? anyone know? now i wish i had a fp guage to see if my pressure is dropping, then i could rule out fuel. im also thinking about taking my car to my tuner to see wtf is up. i had a knowledgable buddy of mine look through the entire system, he kinda thinks its still the jets but that i should put it on a dyno to see the a/f. can anyone verify that a 75shot is 31nit 18fuel on a tnt f1 kit?

Have you checked the wiring on the soleniods? Sounds like you could have a loose connection. Check the grounds and power connections. How are you arming the system? Microswitch? Everything might work fine when you're parked but when driving you're gonna get vibrations that can knock a weak connection loose.
