Low RPM power loss

Hey. I have an '87 N/A. Rough idle.. no low end power... but once it hits 4k RPM, the power surges and the top end has the power it should. Any tips?

You probably have a vac leak which causes the idle problem. No low end? Duh.

You're 5/6th ports are probably either wired open or the sleeves are removed.

That or your primary injectors suck ***.

Please search, someone else has a thread on this right below this.

clogged cat
so when you give it gas
the 5/6th opens up

not only does clgoged cat eats up yoru power
the 5/6th eat up your low end too

or at least, that is what happened to my car

but then my power also died off around 5500
