Default intake problem

I got my intake on and got my car fired up but it wont stay running for very long. The timing is correct, and i've tried clockin my maf but it just wont stay running unless you keep your foot on the gas. heres the set up

systemax II intake ported for an 80 mm throttle body
bbk 75 mm throttle body and EGR spacer
C&L 73 mm maf
19 lbs injectors

anybody have any ideas on whats wrong? Do you think I'll need to get bigger injectors, or just adjust something?

Why would you buy a 75 mm t/b and a 73mm maf? No sence to me.


Have you checked for vacuum leaks. Is the maf calibrated for the injectors you have?

Methinks too big of a throttle body.
