Is it a miss or the Clutch slipping
I cant tell, my car has what I have thought to have been a miss for the longest time. I have also heard it might be the clutch slipping. I have raced the car and it has 40,000 Miles on it. So, I went to a Screamin Deamon coil, MSD wires, and stock plugs then I switched over to Champions later. So It was missing like crazy with the Chapions. The I put the stock plugs back in, well it still missed. This was after I had had the car to the local drags, but only 2 times about 3 runs each. So it still missed, repeatedly, whenever I would step on the gas when I was accelerating, it didnt matter if it was just barely crusing and pushing the gas to get to speed or else when i really stomped it. So I went back to completely stock. It still does it not really as bad or as violently, but it still does it. But then I have heard that is the clutch sliping and taking off the wires and coil did take away some power but not really that much. I am totally lost on what to do. Its not the gas either.

I don't see how a slipping clutch can cause an engine miss or even could even feel like a miss. Could be a dirty or sticking injector. Champions are only good in Chryslers and lawn mowers, get a set of Autolite or Motorcraft plugs, or if necessary AC Delco or NGK's.
Is the miss at idle or under load? How many miles are on your motor? Have you replaced the fuel filter recently? Put in new plugs & wires and if it still missing take it in for evaluation and possible injector cleaning.

Well I never expected at injector, I only have 40,000 but I guess its possible. Everything is stock in the ingnition department again so it all has basically something like 39000 or something on it. It only does it when I am touching the gas and it is more likely to do it when I am acclerating moderately. Its only done it twice when I really stomp on it and it only does it rarely when I am just coasting
