what kind of spark plug wires do you have..MSD are horrible seen many cars that were miss firing and idled horrible with MSD's, if your car is n/a go with stock honda wires, if it is F/I go with something like magnecor or nology and upgrade to an external coil.. blaster ss is the best one for high reving engines, but unless you hook up an ignition box to your coil you will not be taking full advantage of it..

hope this helps

sounds like a vacuum leak. check all of your hoses. maybe take a can of air(yes I said can of air) and spray it around your intake side of your head...when the engine stumbles you've found your leak.
