Well misfires are not a good thing... I would get your tune looked at!

I have tuned 2 LNF cars and neither are having that issue... one has been tuned since about 2k miles on the clock

It's fine, how many miles do you have on the plugs?

You will get a misfire when you take too long to shift sometimes.

It isn't a clockwork thing.

It has nothing to do with the tune either.

Happened to me when I was stock

Because it damages the catalyst

That's about it.

Oh worse gas mileage

As long as by misfire you dont mean excessive knocking all it will damage is the cat.

Ive had it happen to me occasionally when NLS'ing with just traction control off, but not in comp mode or ESC off. Check engine light flashed like crazy, power dies, then the engine recovers and all is good and you are off like a bat out of hell again. Embarrassing if someone happens to be in the car with you.

By the way, no one is calling you a newbie at anything so before you PM me, you need to realize this.


I am saying what has happened with me, and stock, you miss a NLS, there is a strong possibility you will throw p0300.

Misfires are damaging to the catalyst and one misfire over the course of how ever many engine cycles does not mean everything is just going to fall apart. I think it has more to do with what happens during a NLS than what is commanded, because we don't have the tables to even see what happens during a NLS. **** we don't even have the tables to change what GM does with the stage kit.

I am not saying anyone is better than anyone else tuning wise, but what I am talking about here is P0300, when you miss a NLS.

Stock

Tuned by God

Tuned by Steve

Tuned by my dog...it doesn't matter.

Misfiring under load?

Yeah, that is the tune or old plugs.
