First, check the base ignition timing.

Second, run the codes.

Third, check your Fuel Pressure.

Also see the FAQ / Tech section for more specific info.

BTW, did the cam and intercooler in your trunk add any HP ? LOL

What kind of wires did you use?These cars are REAL picky about wires.My 88 did the same thing for a LONG time,never stopped to consider the wires cause it had a set of Motorcraft wires less than 2 months old on it.Sure enough,I tried some $100 MSD wires and it got WORSE.Finally settled on some Accel 8mm regular wires...think I gave $25 bucks for them....RAN LIKE A TOP.Go figure.

Too much fun, what's that mean?That's like too much boost,there's no such thing.

Some brands have their name on the wire. Motorcraft wires do have "Motorcraft" printed on the wire.

Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
