Default Need Help with this one!!!

Ok guys I was driving my car for about an hour yesterday. Most I have drove it since the head cam swap. Everything has been running great and I was on my way home when at crusing speed it back fired about 10 times it seemed then was barely running and dies quickly. It would turn over and it would try to start if you floored it but never would quite start completely. It would just shake. So I towed it home. I swapped coil wires, no luck. I unhooked the MSD, no luck.

Any Advice? It has a newstyle opti that is brandnew. Or I would say maybe
that was it. I am stumped! :smash:

Maybe the hotter coil (Blaster) and the MSD killed the new opti? :confused:

Is that possible? I ran this MSD on my old opti with no problems ever except
a coil wire fried once. I guess it could be a bad opti maybe???

Would an ignition module do these symptoms?
