opti-spark problem

Ok Guys IA just want someone elses option on this. My car is hard to start, It cranks fine, but when it fires, it stumbles really bad for a few seconds then the rpm hols steady @ 2 Grand. When driving i have to keep a LIGHT foot, anything more then 1/2 throttle it will back fire and pop BAD along with lost of power. I have a set of new MSD wires and a set of Rapid fires I am going to put in tommorw. Should I change the opti-spark too? From what I read in my search that is a CLASSIC TELL TALE SIGN. Am I correct in thinking? Thank Once again, John

Yeah it sounds like your opti. But before you replace it i would do the wires and plugs first. Also i would check you coil out. If all is good then more and likely its your opticrap.
