    Please post the picture you took of the timing dots lining up on the cam/crank gears.
    Ensure your injectors seated properly.
    When you changed the springs, you also changed the retainers?

    Can the torque app read which cylinder the misfire is on? That would be the way I'd start.

    it can just need to pull up each cylinder's misfire gauge either current, or history from the list.

    RESULT: SPARK PLUG. lol I wasnt paying close enough attention. Replaced it and the car runs crazy good! @Tyler...Torque app is accurate for boost/vacuum, ltft, misfire, and kr. I have verified this against a new snap-on scope. I cant verify what scotty said about it being accurate with DHP, cause i dont have one, but i'm sure he's correct. Bill thanks for getting back on topic, I always value your info from past posts. I am ordering a TEP transmission tomorrow! Very excited. I'm going with the Stage 1 high performance rebuild with 3.69 gears ppl think its too much but I owned a mustang with 2.73 gears and went to 4.10 and loved it...thanks guys

    People get all butt hurt about an OPINION..... I don't care for them apps Id rather trust an aero force gauge or HPT or snap on or whatever. I just don't have faith in them apps. If people want to use them to each their own not my car.

    I have an S1X on E85 and stock 2.93 gears that thing will obliterate tires with the trans that's in it with the TEP Valve body upgrades. I also have a set of 3.69 gears Ive debated on putting in it. But Im just giving you a heads up even with the 330whp/400wtq the E85 setup is traction doesn't exist in 1st. 3.69s would make it even worse. At the very most I think the GT gears at 3.29 would be best of both worlds if you are really set on changing the 2.93s

    if you change the gears to something other then whats in the car now you need to tune the gear change in the pcm.

    Yup. I had the studder before. Thought it was belt slip. Turned out that one of my plugs was only finger-tight. I have my reservations on how that that happened but it did.
