Default missing or surging

Hello, took the vette for a drive last night and could feel it missing/surging, could it be plug wires? they are the original's. seemed like lower RPMS 18-2300 I could feel it pretty good. Car only has 17800 miles on it.... Thanks Mike

how long has it been sitting? old gas maybe? plugs and wires would be my first guess but it really could be any thing injectors, fuel filter, bad gas & ect.

I've had the car for six month's now, I drive it at least once or twice a week. It just started doing it yesterday after bringing her to 5500rpm. It did put down a 368.86/354.33 on the dyno so it runs real strong. I just ordered some Magnecor wires and a set of TR5's I'm hoping that's all it is.

Check all connections from air intake to throttle body.Could be a leak letting unmetered air in.When was the last time your filter,maf and tb were cleaned?If no codes are being kicked i would start looking at the air intake area.

Cool, I'll check the intake area, the filter is a Hurricane system with less than 600 miles, MAF and TB are spotless, car only has 17,800 miles on it
