EFI to Carb Swap helpp??? not running right
I got most of the swap done minus the ignition system just to see how the car runs since i was having trouble with it when it was efi. Heres everything ive done so far. The car is 10x slower now then when it was stock so please help me out with anything that might be causing this
Its a 93 GT 5spd, Trickflow twisted wedge heads, Trickflow stage 2 cam, rpm air gap intake with edlebrock 650 carb.
The ignition is stock still i havent switched it over yet.
The fuel pump is a carter low psi intake pump i used the factory lines and everything and just have it off the sending line to the carb.
The car starts up and idles perfect.
I have the computer still hooked up to run the fuel pump i havent wired in a relay to get rid of the computer so the pump works with out yet.
I drove the car for the first time yesterday since there was no snow and it was clear up here. The car is very sluggish and slower then when it was stock. It seems to be the same as when i had the hci on it with efi and it just didnt run right then either. I have no idea what my problem is and im willing to paypal the person who helps me figure this out what my problem is 40 dollars if you can help me solve the problem. I know the ignition is done but i cant believe that this car would be this slow right now. It also seems to bog down at WOT but i suspect that because i dont have the right distributor yet. Please help me. Im frustated since ive been building this car for 2 years now and hoped to have it completed this summer and now im so fed up i want to get rid of it.
Thanks so much

All right guys number one the carb is NOT the problem, if you are using the tfi dizzy you don't have the ability to have control of full advance, remove the dizzy and at least put a duraspark dizzy and ignition box in or msd stuff
