Plug gap should be .032 But if you're .030 you should be fine... Sometimes spark plugs come bad from the box... did you drop one? Which cylinder is missing? Does it have spark to it? Are you sure the spark plug is actually sparking? I would find out which cyl is missing and test the plug / wire for spark.

well all wires are firing i just pulled em out and they shot against the head. the number 2 wire ripped (i got stressed out lol) so i bought a new set of wires and also got a cap and rotor. After the install it ran fine fine till i started to rev it and after that it just kept on misfiring. any suggestions ?

Bosche ignition componenets are notorious for not working with Japanese engines. That would be my first guess. I bought Bosch Platinum plugs a few years ago and NEVER got rid of the miss until I replaced them with NGK. Use OEM Denso or NGK wires/plugs.
