    what are you plugs gapped at? what ignition are you running ? If you read around here or do a search, you will find that many people have had the same problem and lots of them fix it with gapping the plugs properly for boost.

    You guys need to make a mis-firing under boost question answer sheet.

    • Engine combo?
    • Carb / EFI?
    • Turbo?
    • Fuel?
    • Spark Plug Gap?
    • Timing?
    • Ignition?
    • AF's?
    • Anything Forgotten?

    Try gapping the plugs even tighter. 0.026" - 0.028" Gapping plugs is free in most cases.
