That's usually the culprit, or aftermarket coil packs, stockers are the better ones to use

you didnt set the plugs gap tight enough. with 15lbs boost your probably running either a 6lb lower or 8 so set the gap at .34 using NGK TR6 plugs. make sure im u run 93 all the time, but im sure you know that.

most important things with these truck is the tune. make sure you have a quality tune and at WOT make sure overdrive is off.

What this guy said^^^^.. BUt I would put new set of tr6s and gap them like at .32. Make sure you give them a good snug on the plugs.. I run my plugs at .32 fro years now and never had a problem... May b some specs on the truck will help us out alot more to figuare out your problem.. GL jose

.32 is to tight for his mods but wont hurt anything. i run 22lbs boost on 18* and mine are gapped at .30 on c16 race gas. on street i run 17lbs 93 pump

Check your gap, and it also sounds like a bad COP.
