First Data Log, Anyone have any insight?
1995 Vert z28, Pacesetter headers, no cats to open Midpipe until I get my new flowmasters installed on Monday, Manual Swapped, No AC, Cold air intake, brand new cardone optispark, plug wires, O2 sensors have <1000 miles, new coil, new icm
Since I bought my car back on Halloween 22' it has had a misfire, I have replaced the above parts but nothing as caused it to go away, I finally got a cable and can start analyzing what is really going on with my engine.

A couple of things that can cause a misfire:
Improper plug gap
Plug wires crossed (I've accidentally put 5 on 7 and vice versa, check that)
vacuum leak.
Start with getting a vacuum gauge on there to ensure theres not a leak, check plug gap and that wires are not burnt and on the proper plug. I would also do a compression check to ensure good compression on all cylinders.
I have also seen valve lash cause backfiring (not necessarily a misfire), so if you get through all of the above, check the lash/valvetrain as well.

No catalytic converters, I’ve pulled all of the plugs out and gapped them all to .050 not too long ago. No plug wires are crossed. I will try and check vacuum. How do I do a wideband scan?

Have you verified fuel pressure and that your injectors are firing?
