Ok....

TPS is perfect.

AIC is functioning. ( at least doesn't appear bad.) Just cleaned it!

Car stumble on startup and you have to rev it when cold..and shifting gears or it dies (embarassing.).

I have an AFPR and 24lb injectors. Running too rich or too lean???
If anybody has anything close to my setup maybe they can give me a good starting point.

Thanks for your input!!!

just about everyone has your setup...and they all will tell you to try to make the acceleration feel the best, get your best time at a track, or keep checking your plugs and learn to read them really good, and then leave the fuel pressure at that point.

but since i dont have fuel injection, i would leave it up to the fuel injection gurus.

Does seem pretty common doesn't it.

I'm heading up to Redding for the Street Drags on Oct. 4th. First time and all I'd like to make a good showing.

Is the fact I don't have my Transgo Shift-kit installed going to plague me? Should I shift manually or leave it in drive?

Soooo many questions and soooo little time!

Thanks for the reply.
