Post after installling MSD 6AL car misfire at 4500RMP and up

Car was running fine no problem, stock dizzy, FPR at 55-60,tuned ECU.
Right after i slaped on the MSD 6AL, car fired up cool. and took it for a spin and the car would move but at high RPM the car BOOGS.. sounds like a misfire or lack or fuel! nunthing has change after i install the MSD.

MY SETUP
85x89
wesco 13.2.1 CR
b16 head Spuertech Every thing
Sunk2Pro2
RC310
NGK iradium X, didnt check the gap but i think its 30+? somewhere near there.
FPR at 60 after the misfire changed it to 40 to see if it would help, NOPE
VictorX IntakeManifold
70MM TB
Dizzy is Retard
stock sparkplugs wires...

Question is i know i didnt do anything wrong but does the MSD require more of somthing since its be install? or should i Re-Gap the spark plugs to somewhere around 18-20-25?
advance the dizzy? try diffrent sparkplugs wires?

Give me your advise or experinces...

What spark plug are you using?

Can you post a pic of the end of the spark plugs, [bad ones]. 94
