my combo is in the sig......and keep in mind..I HAVE A CARB, NOT EFI.

Sometimes, just sometimes....it spits and sputters and doesn't make power. it doesn't wanna pull or anything.....and then, again, after i've been driving for awhile my transmission gets real hot and doesn't wanna go into gear....its the stock t5 by the way... ....

This motor is Two weeks old, it has less than 1000 miles on it. I have MSD 6AL box, MSD billet distributor, and Accel coil. I have a rebuilt 650 Holley Double pumper carb. The rest is in my sig.

My question is, why does it spit and sputter, kinda feels like its skipping on a bunch of cylinders and jerks around real bad.....i mean when i first crank it up it will do fine, but once it warms up its terrible......what do u guys think?
