what are the causes cylinder misfires?
-running too lean/rich? can a standalone cure misfires?
-ignition problems? spark plugs/distributor or something else?

i recently had my hondata 2b done on my drag'd gsr hatch,,,, i was getting blurps up top from the transition to boost from vacuum, and i was getting misfires in idle,,, we tuned the **** out of the car and figured out the msd box was assed out, everything else was finem perfect 12:1 af through the charts,,, stock internaled gsr whp 282, 212 tq, heat soaked after 9 dyno runs,,, at 9.5 psi. so really misfires are in the ignition system, replace everything and if you have an msd 6al or whatever go back to stock, only when your making like 450 plus, are you in danger of blowing out the spark with the stock ignition,,,, so hope that helps,,, misses up high in rpm are usually fuel related from what i hear though or a como of both fuel and ignition,, correct me if im wrong someone
