We need more information here.

Did the misfires start after the cams? If so, I would check your timing. It may be off.

Change your plugs and wires. You want NGK BPR6ES or BPR7ES. What is your gap at? I gap mine at .028
 
ya i have the plugs and i dont have wires anymore i have ciol on plug setup and i gaped my plugs at .30 i run 18-20 psi. and the misfire started i belive before the cams but i seem to pick it up a lot now. i think i may reset my ecu and see if that changes anything

Check your timing to start. Replace your plugs, gap 'em at .028. Log a run or 2 and see if your front o2 sensor is getting flaky.

There are a few suggestions, have at it. My money says one of those things is the cause.
