When does the miss occur? Under boost? Normal cruising? High RPM only? Could be the plugs are just too worn or gapped a little too largely once they get a little wear on them. Dropping the gap a little might help (what gap are they?) or just a new set might be in order.

Most people are using NGK Coppers still, some using NGK Iridium IXs. I don't know what boost you are running but since you are auto I'm going to assume you aren't pushing very much boost through it so probably 6 heat range.

NGK type BKR6E-11 Copper Spark Plugs

I would gap them to about 35-40.

You might need the updated grey dot coils. The 00 nongrey dot coils fail easily.

You should be just fine with the 6's or 7's. I'll be switching to the 7's in a few days.

I have a stage one that said it was good to 380 tq but isnt holding so i will see what i need to do i might go though.If we meet up you can go watch races with us in Chipley, alot of guys from dothan come down there.
