Default fuel complication.

Alrighty, I have a 98 TA, with a 2001 z06 vette engine swap, long tube headers, 3inch off road y pipe, slp exhaust kit, 2800 stall Tc, Volant ram air intake. Sooo im pretty sure im packing 410+ horses. my issue and question is that the manifold and fueling system is all stock. would i need to upgrade my fueling system? perhaps to a Racetronix pump? and the injectors i believe are 28lbs would i need to bump it up to a bigger injector? say 36 or so? Im guessing i need to cause, when i floor and let rip down the road, towards 5,600-6,000 rpms, it sounds like it's spuddering, like not getting enough fuel. I was thinking about getting a tune, but im not sure if i should address the fueling system first.

Try looking at fuel psi, inj duty cycle, B4 you start throwing parts, [$] at the problem.

Default sensor

I had a buddy from Blow By Racing scan it for me. Turns out it was never a fuel issue. But it was a Cam Shaft position sensor problem. The symptoms were: Really bad misfire, horrible start up and cranking, back fire. Pretty much the car runs like crap. My car had all the symptoms. I just bought a New sensor, going to install it tomorrow. Hopefully it solves the issue
