Default Starting to get pissed............ hesitation problems!

ok....... it seems as though i have an inconsistent problem with slight hesitation and an irratic Autometer tach at high rpms. its extremely strange and does not happen all the time. at or above 4.5k the tach will jump up about 1krpms and my shiflight will blink very lightly, the car starts hesistating like it is in need of more air. i am using a full msd setup w/ external coil/ and cap. ive recently replaced the cap and rotor, plugs, and have used my msd wires for about 15k miles. i might try my throttle position sensor but my ecu is not throwing any codes! i will be replacing my fuel filter soon but i just think this is extremely weird that it ties in with my tach for some reason.......... someone help!!!!!!!

BTW: what dizzy to i get for a zc? 88teg?? thanx

I bought a dizzy for an 89 teg as that is what everyone advises to do.

*Edit* why does everyone complain about teh dizzy's on ZC's? I keep reading complaints, but never from ZC owners.
