well here are the problems im having. upon starup i have a fairly rough idle. seems to be more than normal(aftermarket cam installed). at rest when i rev the engine everyhting sounds fine. under a load the car has little power while at full throttle. at partial throttle there is bucking and hesitation going on. also my air fuel gauge seems to be recieving an eratic signal while cruising. ive tried everyhting i know and still no better. mods include dss shortblock dished pistons, vortech supercharger 10psi, tfs twised wedge heads, e303 cam, 30lb injectors matching mass air, edelbrock intake, msd 6al box crane coil, msd wires, one step colder plugs and a superchips chip.

p.s. i just changed the head gaskets and thats all everyhting is back together. the car ran fine before i blew the head gasket.
