Yes

Hard to judge how much performance you lost, but I'm sure you definitely lost some power and your fuel economy suffered as well.

You have more ***** than me, my friend.

I missed the one about the misfire code.

Can't help but wonder what the 2 cylinders look like.

So you were driving around a v8 with only 6 cylinders firing... And you still were getting mid 13s... I hate you.

hey, i don't think when i talk... why the hell would i do it when i type?

i'm hoping to encourage others to check them dang wires... even if you took it somewhere...
i just cannot believe i didn't notice this...
right now i have the engine out to do some mods and replace some gaskets...
i can't wait to get it back in and beat the wifes 01 WS6...

Don't worry, many people have done this...I did it after heads/cam swap 6-7 yrs ago..Only I swapped #6 and #8..Car seemed to run great, no hint of missfire..Was down on power though cause I could barely beat a stock ls1....Installed the wires to the correct cylinder and ran the same ls1 and beat em by 6-7 car lengths, lol..

Those plugs are probably black and need changed..
