Got an 88 BB Mark VII and swapped in a ford crate rated @ 340 hp with GT-40 aluminum heads, E303 cam, polished cobra intake manifold, 24# injectors, converted to MAF 70 mm and A9P computer with a BBK CAI kit with bigger headers. problem is, this thing has lost a good deal of low end power(i know, its a heavy @$$ car but the stock engine had more low-end power!), its running rich (either that or im burnin anti-freeze god no), and it bucks like a mother when im slowing down or coasting. I put in a MSD coil to see if i could get a better spark but didnt help the richness. I dunno bout you but I cant even burn out (no posi yet) which i found pathetic with all ive put into it. I also had a cat-back exhaust put on a year ago. Guy who I had give it a final tuneup recommended an MSD ignition box which I planned on doing anyway but not yet, especially after what ive done over the summer: im broke as hell lol.

any ideas!?!?

thanks
 
Maybe start off by pulling the codes. If it's running as bad as you say, its probably going to throw some.

It's actually kinda nifty how the computer can tell you what's wrong :nice:
