Default Car bucking at 6k...tuned ls/vtec with hondata stage 2b.......

I was cruising around in my car last night for the first time in about 2 weeks. Prior to last night the car had been running fine. As I am on the hwy my CEL comes on, when the car is deceling. Car starts to slowly buck and feels weird. As soon as I hit 6k it bucks even more and won't go passed the 6k mark. Even when I shift into gears it feels slow right after I shift in the lower RPM's. As I accelerate it clears up and drives fine until I hit closer to 6k.

I was cruising with a few friends and they had said that when I hit it on the hwy I shot a blue flame? That can't be good

Im hoping someone may have run into this problem before and can maybe give me some insight?

Check your VTEC connection, run the CEL light, check plugs.

Just checked all of the above.

Vtec connection seems fine, not loose or disconected at all.
Checked my plugs and they seem to be white on the tips. The circular part under the tip is black and full of carbon. (I really don't have an idea how to read plugs. If I can remember white tips means that im running a little lean?) Plugs are gapped to .32 which is what I have normally had them gapped to in the passed.

I did have an MSD SCI ignition box installed after my car was tuned. I was getting a misfire before but that has been cured. Im wondering if the box itself may be throwing something off? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance guys.
