Default Miss under load, not at idle or when not in gear

Hey guys, so today I put a new set of plug wires and spark plugs in my v6. Seemed to idle and rev fine after installation. Once I took it on the road it missed badly under load. Now I know what your thinking and I pulled the plugs and checked for cracks and there were none to be found. The wires are brand new like i said. Normally this would make me think the coil was going bad but I found it suspicious that this started after a plug/plugwire change. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Default

but the stock ones back in, or whatever you had before. see if it still happens.
If it does, its coil pack.

Or go pick up a coil pack, swap it in, see if it fixes it. If not take it back. Just dont scratch it up or ruin the box.

And btw, what plugs are you using and at what gap ?
