Talking misfires and some knock

I just had my car scanned and found I have misfires on a couple cylinders (don't know what ones right now) and lots of knock. I'm pretty sure I know what's causing the knock. but what could cause the misfires? I just changed out my wires for taylor 8mm. but what are other probable causes for misfiring? This is all since my Lt's install. just to throw that in.

I also shouldn't be happy. but I only ran a 13.8 at 99.9 and thought I had a factory dud. so this should be the blame!

I hope my opti hasn't crapped out at 60,000 miles . I'm gonna change my plugs this weekend and do a PCMforless tune. I just hope that's it. my luck it's the opti
