sputtering at low RPMs!? hmmm
ok, just got the stang back out 2 days ago (woohoo!) only problem is it sputters and hesitates at lower RPMs... in 1st it's fine, but in any other gear if i punch it while under 3k it will do this... like it's missing fuel or something? hmmm, any ideas about this?
the only thing that's been done to the car over winter was the smog delete and a tune-up (seafoam, changed all fluids). the cats are hollowed, the heads have been plugged, the belt fits perfectly, the pullies are well aligned. the filter and MAF have been cleaned up.... that's pretty much it.

RE: sputtering at low RPMs!? hmmm
i had about a 1/4 tank of 93 in it before i stored it for winter, and i dumped half a can of seafoam in it before starting it up... ran around all day yesterday ti'll it was empty and i filled it back up with 93 again. the fuel filter might be a good guess, if the seafoam really does what it's suppose to do i guess all the crap from the tank would end up stuck in the filter. i think i'm overdue for one anyway, so i'll definetly change it in the next couple days, see if that helps. thanks... any other ideas on what would cause this?

Did you pull the intake to plug the egr ports in the heads?? Maybe a vacume leak?

That would be a good guess of mine...also check to see if your MAF tube is still all tight since you proabably had that apart to clean the MAF. (What did you use to clean that?)
BTW, How did you plug your heads if you didn't take the intake off?
