did you spray carb cleaner around the intake gaskets (upper and lower?) to see if you have a leak?

if it revs up you have a leak

are the valves set right?

whats the timing set at?

Sounds like that things got a nice cam in it at least :p. I get a low coolant light too every now and then, but it goes off after 10 seconds, probably a faulty sensor...

Give your puter a chance to catch up with the changes. It's probubly runnin rich Mike. All that extra air and the puter wants to dump fuel in there. Can you smell it?

No.

Stock injectors at a 90% duty cycle can handle almost 300 RWHP.

I am sure your fine.

still having this problem. let the car sit for 15-20 minutes to let the computer adjust. drove ti around and still jsut falls on its face.

1st gear bogs and then slowly gains power from 1500rpm's to 2500 then falls flat. then all the other gears jsut have no power.

i do have a bigger MAF that my buddy gave me (not sure on the size but its bigger then stock).

my other buddy is content that its my throttle body.

i jsut want it to run batter then it does now.

i followed the instructions on this page the only thing different is i have a 1" spacer

no i havent tried spraying anything.

valves are good.

timing is at TDC


ok, spray carb cleaner around all the gasket areas and if it revs up you have a leak

if your timing is set at 0 tdc it is retarted and you need to get a timing gun and learn how to use it
