    It seems as if it either misses or backfires massive spurt of KR (2-5*) then back to normal and does it again.

    This is after I get between 3-5 lbs into it.

    For those who dont know the car, its a top swap with headers.

    The car doesnt seem to do this when pulling from first gear but then does it when pulling from second gear.

    For the moment, I'm running 14* of timing till this is sorted out.

    At first the car recorded actual misfires, regapped the plugs to 0.050 and then the misfires were gone but not the KR nor the studdering.

    Going to try wires (warranty) next, then ICM (possibly free) then coils (wrecker).

    Edit: this part makes me think its mechanical: It shows KR when in neutral coasting and revving it. Is that normal?
