Stumbling @ low rpm

My car is in the sig and that is all that I know has been done to it! In other words it has NO Computer control to it now at all

At low RPMs the car is stumbling like crazy, but once it gets up a little it runs terrific
Anyone have anything in particular to look for?

My ignition system should be fine, I pulled a couple of plugs and they all look super
Have new MSD wires and the cap and rotor are less than a month old, I was having the problem before the changes

Could it be in my carb?

Is your 650 a VS or a MS. If it's a VS, I will say the spring for the secondaries needs to be stiffened up a little, I went through this same process with mine at the track, if I stalled it up a little and had to wait, the car had a serious bog when launching. I put a stiffer spring so the secondaries would'nt come in so fast-problem solved.

You sure would'nt hurt anything by gapping the plugs at .45 or .50 with your HEI.
