stumbling/ misfire under throttle

Hi all. I have an 85 irocz with a 305 tpi 5spd. The car has a 91 electronic system. I recently installed hooker 2460 header and matching y pipe. Now under throttle it stumbles like. Almost like the plug wire fell off. But idling it's fine. I'm wondering if the computer is trying to compensate for the better flow and screwing up the firing? I do have an ebl-p4
