Just an idea to throw out, but make sure that you didn't accidentally mangle or remove the vacuum line to the distributor. This could be the cause of your symptoms.

hey that is an idea becuz when i sent my car to the mechanic he had to replace the distributer and i might want to check those lines and also i have a vacume line that doesnt have anything attached to it could i plug that also and see if that helps. if u think

It is unlikely that you are running rich. Freeing up your exhaust flow with a less restrictive cat back would make you run lean, if anything. Still, it is strange that it would go so lean as to die out when you rev it.

Step up to a set of DR rods for the secondaries in the QJet, and a G hanger, too. That is the direction to go for.

 

Maybe you could try raising the idle a bit???

 

If you smell something that resembles rotten eggs it might be your cat, just my .02
