the 6's do idle slighly worse than stock. 7's idle much worse than stock. noticable miss.

I'd pull all of the plugs and check for a cracked insulator (porcelain) or a gap slammed shut. Wierd how you say it only happens in reverse...I've seen that happen with a loose or broken intake tube. When the vehicle is in drive it idles fine because the intake tube is sealed, but when it's in reverse the engine torques and the tube opens up letting in unmetered air...just a thought.
