your fuel pressure might be low. check it to make sure its still at 32. it sounds like its leaning out bad.

isnt stock fuel pressure supposed to be at 38? Also it could be time for new springs. You say you have reved it really high before.

Did you block off the ports in the back of the heads where egr and smog was hooked up? Whats you vacuum at idle. Should still be at least 18 unless you lobe seperation is real close.

Also my car seems to miss when it gets to 4k rpm and higher. But my problem is the rubber ring around my harmonic balancer is starting to back out and causing internal vibration at high rpms.

zach you may want to get that fixed, ok i may have it fixed the sensors on the back of the shock tower for the smog crap, i pluged them back in and it seams to run fine, my fuel pressure is 35 at idle i made it a little higher. i still have the pipe on the back of the heads i have bolts to put in the head but i never got to put them in this weekend, also when i took the egr off i made a block off plate. so as of right now it runs good, tomorrow is another day, thanks for the help
