Thanks for the advise I'll be on the phone to JEGS tomorrow,Getting new plug wires cap and rotor. I advanced the timing to 13 degrees before top dead center, is that recommended?Someone told me that after top dead center is where I should be. Initally on first take off it will tear out and slam through the gears (automatic) on take offs there after the carwill bog down after 3500 RPM and come back when i let off the throttle punch it again and it bogs down which is why i say starving for fuel. So advance the timing means go more degrees BEFORE top dead center right?

What's been done to the car? I ask to find out why you say it's starving for fuel.

So nothing changed to the fuel system? If not, I'd say get an adjustable regulator and then a 190lph pump. At this point, you can keep the stock 19 pound injectors. You could even get a Canton fuel filter, it's reusable and flows more than a stock type filter does.
