You problem is those heads. I'll ship you my stock e7's and you can ship me those AFR's. It will solve your problem instantly, and make me a happy guy.......

It sounds like you are having a fuel problem, when was the last time you injectors were cleaned, and when did you last change your fuel filter. It is a cheap $5 and they have been known to clog before (Read that as I couldn't get air to go through mine before I changed it without an air compressor and it was starving my motor). Also are you running stock headers, because those AFR's might be choking on exhaust. I know it sounds weird to do so with a new motor, but it happens sometimes.

Fuel pressure is at 41, I have a set of shorty headers on the car and it has a BBK 190lph fuel pump on it. Im pretty sure the fuel filter isnt clogged but who knows. I changed it a couple of months ago.

Just take the filter off real quick and blow through it. If its hard to blow through or there is a noticable amount of resistance, it needs replaced.

K so i kinda feel like a idiot. Turns out when I was tryin to get it runnin I set the car up to the non HO firing order(only one it would hit on)Talked to a local car guy. We ran through a whole checklist of things. fuel pressure, TPS, MAFandInjectors, misc. other things, thought i was gonna have to get a custom chip. Set it back to the original firing order. THE H.O. firing order. Fired right off. I must have had the timing 180 out or somethin so it hit on the other. Oh well she is running like a champ now.
