Check spark plug wiring for correct firing order and check timing.

If not then go back to stock cap if that doesn't fix it check for arching at night. If it's pitch black and the wires are bad you will see a light show.

Ford Racing wires have been known to have bad crimps at the ends.

Use a multimeter to test your spark plug wires https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_EFGAFxi1w

I've had the same problems with new MSD wires too. Never had a problem with Live Wires though.
