Well, I'll assume that you are running fuel injection, rather than a carb. I'm not too familiar with the FI system, but for starters you can verify that you have spark on your leading ignition. Does it make good power when you floor it over 3k?

Vacuum leaks? Carb jetted properly?


My 13B setup in my 1980 used to die when you matted it low RPM. I needed to jet it up HUGE.
