Just did a HCI swap and when I mash it, it stumbles, hesistates and doesn;t have any balls until around 3000 then it throws you in the back of your seat. It cant even break them lose when it's wet. Any ideas what this could possibly be? Vacuum leak?

You put victor jr.'s on a 302? wow. first you'll need atleast 24lb. injectors, with a MAF calibrated for the injectors, a 255lph fuel pump, and most likely a tune, unfortunately. Is the motor stroked or piston change for that 2.05 intake valve?

Those head are huge. You are not going to get anything on the low end. . Also did you measure you ptv.. bet you prob touching your piston. I did with same cam and afrs. Not enough to bend but you could see the marks on the pistons..

Did you check the plugs and wires at night with no lights and make sure they aren't arcing anywhere? i've had a plug wire burn and a plug crack since my HCI, both were annoying and took 5 minutes to fix

Definitely check for a vac leak. Any codes? GT ECU/injectors?
