Shudder under load in lockup
#11
Checked fuel pressure and it's at 47psi, ok
Replaced CPS with dealer part, no change
Cleaned Cam sensor, no change
Unplugged O2 sensor, no change
Checked spark plug wire routing again, ok
Checked all injectors are clicking and rpm drop when unplugging each one, ok
Checked TDC mark lines up with rotor pointed at cyl 1, ok
Still no change, shudder remains constant
Bought cyl leak down tester, will be checking leakage b4 tearing into the timing cover.
Going to check resistance in new spark plug wires.
Going to check and adjust rockers, pushrods, and guide plates again
Going to check fuel sync
What else should I check? feels like a misfire, could a lean mixture feel like a misfire? would a cam and bigger heads cause a lean mixture?

Also my buddy noticed one of my lower header flanges has a slight leak, will address that as well. Don't think either of those are enough to cause the problem.
Getting fuel sync checked tomorrow after work. This weekend will do leak down test and remove, inspect, and reinstall rockers, pushrods, and guide plates.
Going to put a mechanical gauge on oil pressure as well because my buddies snapon scanner was reading 7psi at idle even tho my dash gauge reads 40psi.

No, I haven't bought a logger yet because she's not running good.
Today I had fuel sync checked at a local shop and they said it's dead on at zero. He said his scanner showed a random misfire but not enough to set a code. Now what would cause a random misfire? Coil, cam sensor, poor quality wires...?
Tomorrow going to check resistance in my new Napa wires
Leak down test
Remove and inspect rockers, pushrods, guide plates.
Can I ditch the guide plates... do I really need them? They have cut wear marks into my new mopar hardened pushrods. Or should I just take a dremel to the plates and open them up a little more? The old man at the shop used to build 1200hp race cars and he said I didn't need the guide plates for my daily driver.
