Other than timing, what can cause a misfire?
When driving, usually when under boost or when first accelerating from a stop, my car will "hiccup" a bit. Not like a major bucking or anything, but you can definately feel a momentary slight loss of power. I have a new set of plugs Im putting in Wednesday, anything else I should look at?
How can I test to make sure my coils are working well?

If he didn't have the TPS plugged in, it would probably be idling at around 2.5-3k, so I think he would SORT OF notice.
Second, if it was the TPS, it would have problems more often then just accel from stop, or under boost. So..I'd rule that out immediately.
Listen to RETed - he owns j00.

Some more longshots:
Spark wires running too close to CAS wires.
TPS resistor about worn out & starting to give an erratic signal.
Loose/dirty injector plug contacts.
