Thank you for the info guys! I will check cap and wires and probably dump the cat today. Hopefully it will be one of these things.  Thanks again!

     Before eliminating things that are not the problem do what BD Suggested.
Check the exhaust backpressure for possible restrictions.  Should measure under 1.5 PSI @ 3,000 RPM.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
