Default seems like running rough?

i have a 91 lx with a ford crate motor(b303, gt40x heads), cobra intake, 75 mm throttle body, a mass air meter of unknown size i think its a 75, and shorty headers. it seems like it runs a little rough when i hold the throttle around 1500 rpms in neutral, but im not sure if its a problem or if im still in the range where the cam is still being a little lumpy. i put fresh plugs in and hooked up my 6al today, but no difference. it had plenty of power at wot but it seems like theres alot of vibration, it also has urethane mounts. this is my first mustang out of 4 that has a cam, and im a little unfamiliar with the 'feel' of driving one. when does that lumpiness clean up in the rev range or is there something wrong?

It sounds like everythings normal. Urathane mounts are going to give you vibration. The b cam starts making power at about 2000+rpm so at 1500 I would think the car would bog there. Also you may just want to spend the extra money and get a maf sensor that you know is correct.

it is bothering me that i dont know what mass air meter it is. is says proform on it and its a chrome tube, there is really fine etching in it that say 19 lb injectors and i think it says 73 or 75 mm for the size. also, are my stock injectors a restriction with these mods, should i upgrade to 24's?

I'd think your at about the max of your 19's. You should probably get 24#'s with a new mass air calibrated for them.

if you can get a older pro-m get that, its better than the c&l but the new pro-m meters people are having problems with them.
