Lots of misfires, is this normal?

With my GM Stage 2 and Rebel 3" intake, I can see on my Interceptor gauge that I get often some misfires. This happen most of the time when Im at idle, sometimes when I accelerate and strangely, almost never when I go wide open throttle. However, I don't get a cel because of that... so I can presume that this is normal? Should I replace my spark plugs? Why am I getting all those misfires?

did you swap PCM's? If you did (which I'm betting something like this) you will need a CASE relearn.

No, not at all, because this is the stage 2 from GM. So the dealer did all the installation.

Oh I see that any of you get more misfires than me... but what I mean by a lot of misfires is that I get them often, but in a low quantity, like 2 to 4 misfires each time. Maybe this is normal? I would like some experienced users to clear this up if possible! This may be something to not worry at if this is something like me.

Those who get up really more misfires in this post, do you get a check engine light?

I would recommend trying a different spark plug maybe? With my car there was a recall with faulty spark plugs that would cause serious misfires and load misfires.

Just a thought. Might not be the solution.

I'm thinking it may be normal. My interceptor sees a lot of misfires at idle too. Burn, if you had 46 misfires and a P0300 code didn't get set, I'm thinking you're okay.
