How much boost are you seeing on the gauge? On a stock car, you should have a 10psi-8psi-10psi boost pattern. Have you done a tuneup on the car, especially spark plugs?

Low compression would also be a factor.

do you have an ignition amp? if so, check to make sure that it is functioning properly. if it has crapped out then you may only be running on your trailing plugs. check your coils, verify that you have spark to all 4 plugs.
