Default Need some help

OK guys just installed my Pacesetter LT with TSP Rumbler Exhaust yesterday. Just came from the track and about 4500rpm the exhaust is popping like crazy. I am losing alot of power was hoping for my 12 sec. run today but it was popping all the way down the track. Any body can help with this.
Took the EGR out

The header gaskets are some copper gaskets and the exhaust has the braces not welded. When I say popping its really backfiring like crazy. Dont know if it is a vaccum line or what.

you might want to put it on efi live and see what your VE tables are doing....also you might have a bad o2...when doing headers, they tend to get beaten around a little bit, there pretty fragile...this could also be a area

Thanks man I will look in to that. But its something the car pulls strong untell it hits 4500rpm than it starts backfiring. But if you think of any thing else just let me know.

Same problem here, thought it was in need of tune from cam, but mine does it all rpm's at WOT, and some at just half throttle as well, almost like it's supposed to do it, repetitive? Same issues, it kills power, adn you'r eprobably running lean too, so be careful. Anyone know what our deal is? i PUT NEW PLUGS AND WIRES ALREADY
