i was driving and i reved it up to about 6500 and after that it just started running crappy. at idle is misses and during acceleration it is really slow, but it boosts fine. also it isnt blowing off all the way, it is just fluttering. the coil pack was burned on one of the places where you plug in the spark plug wires. i replaced the coil pack, plugs, and wires. it has good compression still. my next thought is it might have jumped timing but not bad enough to bend valves. what do you think it might be.
 
i forgot to say that sometimes the vaccum is jumping around at idle and sometimes it stays steady. also when decelerating the vaccum only reads 15, it used to be at around 20-21.

sorry for the double post, the first time it said page cannot be displayed so i didnt think it went through.
 
Your first instinct is usually correct. Check cam timing, not that hard and would be worth it, even if it is not your problem.
