Trouble after installing edelbrock performer

It backfires (TBI and exaust) above 3500 rpm, and dosent have much power.
My timing is correct. Should I bump up the fuel pressure? The only thing i left out was the EGR. It didnt work anyway, so I used the EGR block. I wasn't shure where to post this, any Ideas?

Sounds silly but check your plug wires. A crossed wire will let it idle fine but will stumble badly as RPM's increase. Check and double check!
