Default mistfire problems

I drive a 2002 civic ..my only mods are exaust pipe and short ram intake .Under hard acceleration it mistfire .What could be the broblem ? I think the problem is about the engine not having enough gas or not having enough spark .I am not a mecanic so if someone could help me with that it would be really cool ! thanks

check your plugs, you may need new ones. How good of shape are your spark plug wires?
