Default Need some Help

OK... My car has over 121,000 miles on it and I have recently installed a TR 220/220 114 LSA, Comp 918's springs, Ported Oil Pump and a 255 lph Walbro Fuel pump, "NO Tuning Yet". and the car seems to be acting up, but only in the last month. It seems to serge when I get on it. Could My Injectors be going bad?

O2s play a part in transitioning to WOT, and that's where he is having trouble. If the LTFTs are screwed in the cell he's operating in at the time he stabs the gas pedal, it'll stumble.

If it ran great when he initially nailed it, then fell flat on it's face at higher revs, I'd go with fuel pressure diagnostics.

Some things to check...

-Throw a fuel pressure gauge on there and watch it on a WOT run. You might see fuel sloshing away from the fuel pickup or maybe the fuel line is cracked.
-use a scanner and watch your factory O2s at WOT. No they are not really accurate at WOT, but if they fluctuate too much you know you probably have a spark/fuel problem.
-check your plugs/wires
-Get tuning.
