Ok, The other day after a very needed anger burn out, I started to notice that in between 1000 and 2000 rpm when accelerating my engine backfires and jumps now but once above 2000 it is fine and drives like normal. I think I might of half way burned up a ring or something any ideas? Thanks

You probably have some slop in the valve train. Loose timing chain is what it sounds like.

Will the lose chain actually cause a series of backfires.

If I am in second at about 1300 and i accelerate, there is a series of about ten pops or backfires and then once at about 2000 it is fine, no problems between 2000 and 5500

Sounds more like a lean backfire then a problem with the timing chain. When you have a sloppy timng chain, while decelerating, it will tend to pop.

I would check your mass air and fuel system.
