Do you have any dead cylinders?

You can double check plugs/wires and also check to see if the opti was installed correctly, and was the opti harness new? Maybe the old one has corrosion on it

I've seen clogged cats do this. Seems like it was all the time though, not just warmed up.

would a bad opti cause it to miss? i have a 96 z28 with the lt1. the plugs and wires are all new. i put a new opti in it about 2 months ago. ran awesome for about an hour after opti was kinstalled and after that it car started to miss. check engine light is on so i hooked it to a scanner. cylinder 3 is about dead. more misfires than fires. and cylinder 6 has a few misfires but not many
