Multiple cylinder misfire code... but car runs totally fine?

Well, the GM847 has been running great so far on my stock bottom end motor with my old Speed Inc XE 224/230 tune. Car pulls strong, idles well, and is totally streetable in traffic. However, I'm getting the multiple cylinder misfire code. The thing is, the car seems to be running totally fine. No awkward shaking, stumbling, or anything like that. I have a data logging / scan tool but I'm not sure what to look for.

Is this just a tune issue?

Thanks

The 847 should produce a lopey idle, and a lopey idle is essentially a bunch of random missfires. I suspect that you need to disable code p0300 through reprogramming.

IMO, the rough idle of that cam could easily be picked up by the crank sensor as misfires.

As noted, your crank position sensor is being set off at idle due to the rough idle that cam has. Even my small cc503 set off my crank position sensor. Just disable it and call it a day.
