When my car was backfiring it was dangerously lean, but you said the plugs were burnt so I assume you mean too rich? I think the car can misfire when its too rich????

thought that would be it. Been there, broke that.You might want to do a leak-down test & a compression test. I mine tested o.k with the leak down test so I put it back together. Seems now that I should have threw a set of rings in it.My compression readings are all over the place from as low as 170 to as high as 210. They should all be 210. I'm still making good power but it could be more. Make sure you get a timing tuner to retard your timing when your spray is on or have it tuned for spray so it dosent happen again.
