ive got somewhat the same problem. list your mods and what you have checked.

check your plugs, make sure its getting enough fuel, make sure you dont let it go under 800rpm while launching from a stoplight.. my car HATES me when i give it too much clutch and not enough gas.

Check:

- Plugs
- dist cap and rotor
- wires (loose or burnt)
- fuel pressure
- vaccum leaks
- fuel leaks around the intake
- check engine codes

Once you have checked these post up the results [patriot]

Start small, try cleaning the massair if you havn't already, and also make sure your rockers are adjusted right.
