Default constant surge??

Ok guys, I have been battling a surging issue for a while now and can not put my finger on it. It is always there open or closed loop. at a descent normal rpm while driving anything under 3k it sjust has a bad surge to it. I have tried and checked about everything i know, anyone with any similiar issues?

CC306, Hookers, stage II heads, EWP, 58MM tb, 28lbs inj, 1.6 pro comps, and the other standard bolt ons. Car runs great at Wide open throttle, just the normal driving that sucks.

I have the same problem, my car is running way lean so I put new O2 sensors in and it seemed to fix my problem for about 2 weeks it just came back last week. If you find an ansewer let me know. I have a 94 ta with LE2 heads, 847 cam, LT's, 30lbs. injectors.

LALT1 - do you will have your egr valve hooked up? if so rip it off and get it tuned out. or like buffman said, it could be cam surge

Egr is gone, not cam surge as this set up was on a different car with no issues. Acts like a damn vaccum leak but cant find anything anywhere.

thanks guys, FP is my concern as well. I also have a herter tune, I still have a old PCM with the MTI tune in it as well, may swap them out just to see if it is smoother with it.
