When you accelerate on the freeway, does the car sputter like bumps in the road that arn't there? Are you getting an Check Engine lights? Do the rpm'* fluctuate a lot?

This misfire under load sounds similar to what Teuobk had go wrong with his car the day of the MN meet last weekend.
What kinda plugs you got in the Buick Jim?

hmmm, methinks you installed Champions or Bosch.
Time to upgrade to NGK Iridiums or AC Delco Platimuns, for wires, AC Delco wires are fine, but if you want to upgrade, go Taylor wires
Should solve the problem...should...unless its something else :?

I got the AC Delco rapidfires for like $4.50USD each. I think the NGKs were almost $6.00USD. But they should be in that range.
