Alright lm bring this back to life cause the problems still continues...
So l intalled my interceptor and my pump is working, IAT2 goes does down once l start driving
but now l know l knock, and lm misfiring like crazy at idle. So im in the markert for a better tuner!! The guy that tuned me is a useless tool

Yeah, tuning the misfires out when you have 60s is almost impossible due to their min short pulse width. As long as it doesn't misfire when driving you should be fine.
As far as knock goes, were you tuned with a wideband? How much timing is being commanded when you are getting knock? Alot of times with a 2.8 you have to run a little richer due to the extra heat it is creating unless you are running meth.

I was thinking about changing the plugs, the misfire is only at idle but l have had a few CEL while l was driving
I was tuned with a wideband, l have been re-tuned by this guy at least 3-4 times..Im not sure what my timing is set at??
Im getting re-tuned april 17 or 18th so we will see he can fix it, plus im installing my h/e and dual pass asap
Keep you guys posted
Thanks for your ideas

Everything rnjmur has said so far is 100% true.
