misfire under acceleration
Recently the car started misfiring under boost.Ran perfect before. Runs fine NA and very mild boost. Above that, starts misfiring badly. Its a vortec 5.7, two GT35's and max of 10lbs of boost. I run an EBL Flash 2 and tune is solid, done by Rob (Street Lethal). Fresh plugs (TR6 GP) gapped at .028, good wires, FP is 38 lbs at the rail at idle. Only thing I can think of is my Racetronix pump going away or the parts store distributor any thoughts?

Re: misfire under acceleration
Thanks for the idea on the plug. I was running the TR6 because its one range colder than the OE TR55. I thought that was enough but if that solves the problem, that'd be cheap and easy.
Right now, I have a mechanical gauge at the rail but don't have a way of data logging fuel pressure so you're right i'm just guessing.

Re: misfire under acceleration
I'll borrow somebody else's phone for that experiment, lol. Or cover mine in header wrap... I just looked at some datalogs before it started acting up, everything under boost; spark, fuel, temp, was perfect, figures. I'll post back when I figure it out. Good time for our dollar to tank.
