I have a 96 GT. I just rebuilt the motor and put pi cams and intake on it. The problem is the car starts fine and idles; motor sounds good but when u rev it up its lazy. It seems to only go to 4grand then stops, seems like its flooding itself. Any ideas? I'm at a loss

Check for pending DTC codes. I suspect your car is operating in reduced power (limp in) mode. Likely there is a sensor input missing such as cam, MAF, or IAT.

Also check for vacuum leaks.
