Default 95 GT- 306 (She's a little under the weather)

Less than 300 miles on rebuilt motor. No matter if warm or cold, motor has a bad "chug" when accelerating. New cap, rotor, and pre-set spark plugs. Full throttle will make the car come alive, at 65mph in 5th gear when trying to pass another car, it feels like car is being robbed of horsepower. New e-303 cam, roller rockers and push rods were installed, heads ported, new flat top pistons, and all new ARP bolts, and 77H bearings were installed. Thanks in advance for any input and information.

just making sure, but u dont have the stock chip right? b/c i know my car has a lot more, but i dont have the money to get my speed limiter removed. idk if it will do nething about the chug, but it should give at least some of ur power back

No smog pump, no cats, Still has stock chip. While correcting the timing, I was informed about the pill on the passenger side fender well next to my stock ign. box. Hope this helps.

Check your sparkplug wires. If they touched the header onces that could have done it.

That sounds like a fuel shortage problem do you have a fuel pressure gauge? as well did you change or check all plug wire for Regular spark? THis could be the TFI module as well.
