I'd start with what hong the fuel pressure. You could be starting to float the valve just a WAG

Also
does it do it when its cold or hot or does not mater?

Old oil hot can foam and create issues. Low level oil can cause issues too. That applies to the HPOP and the basin pan on low level

My story was injectors without codes.

Top off the oil a tad more and see what the does for you. Next time it does it stop and pull over turn it off and pull the bull plug on the HPOP and check to see that the level is about a inch from the top.

Also I meant rev and hold the RPMS to see if you see the miss. Is it just a sharp milli second miss and you see a slight dip in the rpms and and feel it in the horse power?

I will have to try holdin it and see but it almost seems like it misfires when it happens and usually when it happens it pops or misses once or a couple times becaesu when it happens i let off the throttle... Also bluish smoke comes out the stacks when it happens, but I will check the hpop level aswell nextime

I would say with stage 1's and a stock HPOP that your running out of oil. I'm assuming stock HPOP, didn't see any thing else in your signature. Mine used to jerk so bad I had to go to the dentist and have my filling replaced. I then got rid of the stock HPOP.
