With your mods you would be a much better off with the stock plugs. Using copper plugs will do nothing for you except decrease plug life.

i decided to purchase the copper plugs to check if it was the plugs that were making me misfire because i read that they would be less likely to misfire, im gonna purchase acdelco in 3k miles, so what could i be getting misfires from then

You could have a bad ignition coil.

After I changed my plug wires years ago, I started getting misfires. I checked everything but didn't find anything. I eventually switched back to the stock wires and the misfires went away. My original stock wires have out performed every after market set I've tried.

Most motors have occasional misfires so it seems you're overreacting on this.

Only 2 misfires on a coldstart is completely normal. It's like asking you to wake up from a deep sleep and do quantum physics and get every single problem correct. Now that I got my usual wise crack in....

Stock ACdelco Iridium plugs + stock ACDelco wires = the best setup for your engine
Is the misfire on one cylinder or a "multiple random misfire" happening across other cylinders? If it's the former, swap coils around and see if the miss follows.

What did you gap the plugs to?

By the way you reacted to how noisy stock fuel injectors are, I'm with Don on this in assuming that you're overreacting to something completely normal.
