Camaro Stalls While Burning Out
I have a 91 Camaro RS 5 speed with a built 350 TBI in it. The car idles and drives great. I have one problem... I dump the clutch anywhere above 2500 rpm the car sputters, then backfires, and sometimes dies. Is it not getting enough fuel? Is the computer? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The car has a 454 throttle body.. It should be getting plenty of fuel..

Re: Camaro Stalls While Burning Out
Just because you have a big TB on it does not mean the fuel is getting delivered. How does it act if you're rolling and hammer the throttle or launch from a lower RPM? Is there a delay in throttle response? Do you get any slight popping, pinging, anything like that? Have you checked for codes?

I would get a fuel pressure gauge on it. It sounds like you might have a clogged fuel filter or possible the sock at the bottom of the fuel pump.
