Default Ignition break up

ok last summer i put my integra on the rollers since i switched over to S300. its basicly a stock LS i was doing some tesint on before i go the LS/Vtec route. problem is after 5500rpm it started breaking up. Hondata says you need resistor plugs i pulled mine out and they were BKR6. i even tried adjusting the gap from.044 to .035 (turbo gaps) and no changes. was told possible issue with valve adjustment ? anyone have some more information?

I attached a pic of my graph. ill have to also look over my logs.

What ignition system do you have ?

Try a stock integra distributor (OEM, no aftermarket autozone crap).

i was hoping but you can see the tach cutting out in the car. bounces back and fourth around 6k.

ill try another distributor plugs and wires. migth go down to honda and buy both new ignitor and coil. i guess ill tear it apart and look to see if any honda part numbers are on them or if they are aftermarket.
