Default proformance question

ok so i got the camaro runing after the built, did all the mods on my sig, been 3 weeks i put just about a 1000 miles already b4 i got on it, its not tuned bc i havent had the money its going fri to get tuned. feels like it to lean when it starts and starts cutting back as i drive, when its cold she runs fine but it feels stock like the cam and 1.6 rr and didnt really do much to my proformance, i raced a 98 cobra and beat him about the same as i did when i was stock just headers and gears. can this be bc im not tuned? bc i should be making 340-350 hp off the bottle and feels like im in the 200s still. can it be bc im not tuned?

Car isn't gonna make the power it should till its tuned. I wouldn't even be hammering on it until you get that handled - especially if your getting cutting out, etc.

+1. I'd also readjust your roller rockers with the engine running if you haven't already done so. I feel that is the most effective way of adjusting them and the adjustment has a huge effect on your performance (lol).
