Default shaking when accelerating!!

Ok so I installed my spark plug wires and msd tfi coil, the wires are the super conductor 8.5mm. Now when ever the car warms up on the freeway it starts shaking when ever I accelerate. I checked the wires on the plugs and the dist. cap and they are in there right. DOes anyone have an opinion? Would it be a malfunction in the wires? Also they are not hitting the headers so there not melting or anything.

You may be cross firing now that you have better spark. I forgot which wires are close together that also get spark in sequence of the firing order. Know what I mean?

Can someone translate for me? It's when spark jump from one wire to the one next to it because they are touching or very close and next to each othe in firing order.
Or it can happen in your distributor cap for other reasons...

Do you have the wire separators on or are they lying there loose?
