Angry misfiring at 5k rpm

My 86 n/a seems to hesitate and misfire at 5k rpm's after I put on headers free flow cat and racing beat y-pipe and turbo mufflers with a block off plate. Now the damn thing is sputtering like it can't breath gasping when I am putting my foot to it..If somebody or anybody can help me please do so....tks

That's the first thing I thought, but how would that cause it to misfire? Choking on too much fuel? Also, I would think that that high flow cat would be enough to get the ports opening.

Maybe try wiring the fifth and sixth ports open and see what happens.

two zip ties on the rods. lol

This shouldn't be a full time fix though. I would also check your PILL for the pressure sensor.
