CEL after vf39 upgrade

hey guys I recently just installed my vf39 setup including a tune by mike at gst. However, I've been getting CELs lately usually engine misfire codes PO300, 301, 302, 303 but I do not feel any knocking or anything obvious that something is going wrong. My kit include: vf39, sti tmic, walbro fuel pump, deatschwerk 565cc injectors. It seems like after changing my oil I have been getting CELS? changed 5w30 mobil 1.

yeah, like I said, mine does the same thing. Added power increases the misfire readings. Are you getting anything other than the misfires?

no...just the missfire codes...i will soon get the spark plugs changed hopefully its the cause of the problem if not it can be the injectors...or possibly the mobil 1 oil which said formulated for trucks and suv?
