Unhappy ...... My Fox body LS1 got low hp please help me ?????

I went to the dyno today, my first test didn't run good. A lot of carbon comes out of exhaust.
I got 178hp after that he told me go and check my fuel pressure or something else he actually didn't try to modify it. I checked the fuel presser it was 51psi. I don’t know how I can solve this problem!!! What do u think is the problem? The car is stock only headers, borted TB, Trans 700r4 that’s all

I believe stock fuel pressure is 58psi. Plus you are making almost 1/2 power, did you forget to reattach 3 plug wires? Have you tried to pull any engine codes?

Tell us more about your setup.

If you are runnig all the GM sensors, maf, etc.... you should be going lean at 51psi not rich.....

Is MAF good? O2's working? Grounds tight? And FP should be 58psi BTW. Is the tune even close???

I do believe you have to have the O2's that what lets the car know how much to fuel..if you dont have any it will DUMP fuel which is your problem. install the front O2's before you wash the cylinders. That's probably why your fuel pressure is low too because you maxing out the injectors.

I found one plug doesn't work no spark allot of carbons. I put used one for test, I feel better tomorrow I will change the spark and wires and will clean the injectors. That why the fuel doesn't burned.

If you are running a pcm you HAVE TO RUN o2's OR YOUR PCM HAS NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL TO COMMAND. Surely you know this cause you wouldn't have gotten this far being a dumbass.........

+ 1 cylinder not firing won't cause you to lose almost half your horsepower.....

Sorry in advance.......

Wtf dude. How did you make it to the dyno with no o2s? You mustve surely known something was wrong when you were sputtering down the road and your car surging like a mf. I had just 1 o2 go out and I instantly knew I was down on power.
