    Did you ever check the plugs/wires again? Coils?

    Yeah but it only misfires at crazy acceleration top end. U think u can drive it hard and have it plugged in and it'll pick up the code when its wot? Because if not its clear and no codes. Im not so great to get in and fix stuff but i have an affordable mechanic that works at home

    I'm talking about a live feed scanner while driving it, like a tuner on a laptop, or a aeroforce.

    Crap at idle doesn't mean squat since there is TONS more load on the motor at that speed.

    What plugs? Get autolite 605's. Gap them at .050".

    Is the car stock otherwise?

    And what i meant is even if not at idle there is no codes i can even wot 1st 2nd 3rd no codes. All boost 100 plus misfire. I can drive it hard between 0 to 100 no problems. I really have to get the car going to misfire. I dont do it all the time but now that i know it does i know something must not be right

    It's a GTP, which means that even if you're not beating on it, there's a decent chance the previous owner(s) did. Anytime you're dealing with forced induction, you're going to have higher maintenance costs because the engine endures much higher stresses than a typical n/a engine.

    I think you need to find someone that can hook an aeroforce or tuning laptop up to your car, then hit the highway and reproduce the problem with the scanners on it. That'll tell you what is causing the issue.

    Put a new rack on it, and keep it under 100mph...Seems to me that if it's perfect under 100mph, there's no reason to get rid of it. Not exactly a daily driving issue if it's only above 100mph...

    Here's a thought.

    If it keeps misfiring over 90-100...

    Maybe quit driving that fast?

    But noooo, common sense not needed.
