Default Any Ideas?

I installed 30lb. injectors,a meter, and a 255 fuel pump and now when I lay into it the car loads up and falls on its face. I tried lowering the fuel pressure to 32 with no change. The only thing I can think of is buying a MSD box to help the fire. I installed new plugs and gapped them to 28, once again no luck. I can rev the engine in nuetral and it does fine. I can also climb the RPMs slowly and it will do alright. But I cant lay into it. It is stock ignition, but I was told it should be alright. Any ideas?

to reset the comp you just disconnect the positive battery cable for around a half hour

I have almost the exact same setup and with 24# injectors I had to lower the fp to 30psi to get a 11-1 a/f ratio.

The neg cable resets the computer, not the pos. 30 minutes, then hook it back up and start your car for 2 minutes with all accessories off. Than shut it down for 2 minutes and start it again with all accessories on.
