the spark plugs looked good when i pulled a few, the injectors were bought from FIC, i had the misfire before the injectors also, i get it at idle, and it usually gets worse the hotter the car gets.

The injector are ok, I just asked to make sure you did not install a different size injector.

Have you checked the timing and run fuel pressure checks? And I'm assuming you replaced the sock and pulsator along with the pump?
Looks like you'll have to go through alot of checks like EGR, vacuum leaks, leaking PCV, etc.

no i didnt replace the pulsator, it wasn't even the fuel pump because it had the same issue after i replaced it. how do you check the timing? i think part of the problem might be because i only have 2 bolts in the harmonic balancer because i stripped one hole.

Did you replace the sock that is on the fuel pump?
And did you do any fuel pressure checks?
You check timing with a timing light.
I believe in another thread you mentioned about pulling the balancer and wasn't sure if you installed it correctly since you stripping one bolt?
You will need to get the balancer fixed first and make sure it is installed in the correct place before you check timing. I'm guessing the bolt that stripped is for one of the pulley bolts? If so, then just replace the balancer as it is a wear item anyways and go from there.

just pulled some codes, 41, 15, 72.
took the car out for a spin ran great was able to get it to rev past 4500rpm, but still has a slight miss, before all the new parts it would really lose power when you give it gas you couldn't go past 4000 rpm as the car got hot (about 220) , i don't know if it will still do that because i haven't really drove it much sense the new parts. i also put the sock on it.
i also was able the get the 3rd bolt in, helped a little but the miss is still there.

These scans are from an 86. Probably would be a good idea to get a Corvette Service Manual for your year. You can get it on a CD off ebay for cheaper than getting it by book.
Code 41:

Code 15:

And it says a code 72 is Gear Selector Switch. Check connections at TCC solenoid and Park neutral switch. Replace ECM or repair transmission as needed.
I'm betting those codes have something to do with your miss.
