Throttle problems

I got the car running and it idles on it's own (although just a tad rougher than it was before hand), but when I give it throttle, the car bogs down and almost dies, but goes back to idling just fine when the blades aren't open. Any ideas? Thanks.

what's fuel pressure?

what's base timing at?

did you double check for vacuum leaks?

what happened to the car before?

what parts did you replace/touch?

I don't have a timing to tell my base timing, and I don't have a FP gauge. I checked and I have no vacuum leaks. I swapped out my stock TPI for the Stealth Ram. It now doesn't bog down when I give it gas, but it won't rev any higher than 3k rpm. Would too much advance in timing cause that?

I'd guess it would be more related to fuel pressure.

You arent trying to do this on the stock chip are you?
