it turns out that the miss under boost was the plugs. i had some stock style denso plugs so i got some colder NGk's and that cleared it up completely. runs great. kinda falls off at the top but im sure an intercooler would help that a lot. thats one of my next purchases
all in all for the money i have spent it is a nice power increase and an awesome learning experience. you can read all day long but you still dont know till you do it
