I just got my car back from the shop with the following mods: DSS flycut pistons, Edelbrock 2.02 heads, Trick Flow street intake, Comp Cams Nitrous HP cam (212/218@.050", .544 lift with 1.7 rockers, and 114LSA), BBK full length headers with off road H-pipe, Flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers, BBK fuel pressure regulator, MAC fenderwell CAI, Pro-M 75 mm MAF, amd stock TB and injectors. My car seems very sluggish and runs a little hot since the rebuild. I am using the 19 lb/hr injectors for now until I get the 30 lb/hr injectors. My radiator is stock for now. I am obviously breaking it in thus I baby the car. It still feels very sluggish and doesn't feel like it will have any power when I break it in and decide to go WOT. Are my small injectors causing this or should I check the fuel pressure? Should I recalibrate the mass air meter to make it better?

Definately check the fuel pressure settings...my boy just got his car dyno tunned with a similar set up running 19's...his fuel pressure was set at 42...24's should be alright with nos set up...i had the same temp problem when i was breaking in my new block, water pump, 3 core radiator, 180 deg. thermo. and accurate gauge should help...you'll be in the 12's 'fore u know it, L8...

break it in first , and give the rings some time to seat in the fresh cylinders, then spend time with your timing curve and air fuel mixtureas well as valve lash if its solid
