Your cam is making it run too rich while in open loop mode. Scale your main VE table by 60% to 80% and you should be OK.

check the O2 sensor off your headers. they might be leaking and showing a fake lean condition making the car run really rich. cams itself wont make it bog that bad normally. good luck.

Default Engine stumbles badly upon accelleration

I have a TR224 with Comp 918 springs and hardened pushrods.

Before the car has fully warmed up, when I hit the gas at lower RPMs (below 2k) unless I totally feather the throttle it bogs and stumbles and sometimes backfires badly. The car feels like it's about to die on me if I don't let out. After driving for 10-15 mins when it fully warms up it drives just fine.

Any ideas? It almost seems to me like a vacuum leak but I can't find any. I am currently taking off the valve covers to see if maybe one of my rockers came loose (they are really loud).
