    Stock coils are best. Stock wires work fine. Get some autolite 605 plugs

    Sounds exactly like my car. Spits and spudders only when boosting. Let me know what they find out at the dealership.

    Just went to get codes checked. Car will not read misfire because of aftermarket computer. At least that is what I was told. Just replaced fuel pressure regulator, problem still. It is really blowing my mind. Any other advice?? Coil packs plugs were already replaced. It has a zzp PCM 3.4 pulley cat delete u bend delete.

    Untrue.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    You had better get some headers before you chip a piston. Your probably getting a ton of KR in boost that's why it's cutting out.

    I pulled a wire off of the coil pack while it was running, scanner would not read the miss. I don't know why it wasnt. I was just told it was because of the aftermarket computer. The car always had copper core plugs I replaced them with iridiums. Several people told me copper cores had no value and iridiums are just as good. Could this be part of the problem??

    where heres the weird thing, i have no mods bought the car from a friend and it has a smaller pulley, the pulley has been on there from the guy he bought it from and this problem just started,when i watched the live data on the scanner, it said something about like the knock sensor wasnt reading or something along those lines.as far as plugs personnely i try to keep what was in it from factory just how i was taught in the garage, delco for gm, motocraft for ford, and so forth, but everybody will have their opionions which is fine just my taste and experience. dealership didnt call yet but i will call them tomorrow.
