Have you checked the plugs again after the second incidence of the random misfires?

Also, has the car been stalling randomly and intermittently?

I haven’t pulled the plugs yet I’ll be doing that today or this week also the car does have like a small random rpm drop of like 100 mabie 200 every other time coming to a stop when I come to stop I push the clutch in and roll going into first and when I pull the clutch out to put it in neutral the car jumps back up to the RPMs that where dropped of that makes sense also when I first had pumped e85 and had to let the car learn the gas and change flag from 0 to 1 it did have like two times where it kinda wanted to stall but hasn’t happen since the car also pulls super crazy strong no lag or anything

So I'm not saying you're experiencing the exact same thing as my case, yet in my personal car we found the intake cams to be moving uncommanded. New cam phasers and solenoids going in this week to hopefully cure.

Definitely a PITA, and I do this shit everyday, lol.

Car is currently boosted, but symptoms began when car was NA E85 Lund tuned. Never went away. Got progressively worse over time, under boost. So tearing down the ole gal for replacements and OPG/CS/ARP bolt upgrades while we're in there.
