Default HELP!!! Car feels like its missing or cutting out!

I just put my procharger on my 03gt. When i got it tuned afterwards, it cuts out, like its missing or cutting off the fuel. Travis at gearheads told me to get new spark plugs and o2 sensors. my sensors were sticking real bad. So i got new tr-6 spark plugs to replace the factory plugs. But it still acts like it misses and cuts out, even when im not getting on it real hard. Any suggestions? I still havent got then new o2 sensors, but i didnt think that would cause it to miss and cut out....? A friend also suggested new boots for the plugs, but when we replaced the plugs they didnt look flared out at all???? Could a bad coil cause this?

Any advice or suggestions?

is it actually missing? Could it be the belt slipping?

i didn't see anything to make it sound like that, but there's so many guys out there who just play "tuner" when they have no idea what they're doing

i know the tuner, and he is no ******* he knows his ****....he has tuned my car many times before...on the dyno it was doing it before he even tuned it...i had factory plugs in there and REALLY bad o2 sensors so it was hard to tune anyway...so i replaced the plugs, havent gapped them yet but will tonight...and im gonna go get some new o2 sensors and see how that plays out....maybe buy a new fuel filter also...

i didn't say he was. in fact I said I didn't see anything to make it sound like he was an *** hole. I just said you have to be careful, there's alot of guys out there who want to play "tuner" with no real race experience
