Default Help please

I just replaced the fuel pump in my Lt1. Now the car feels like it lacks power and while I accelerate it pops like popcorn, and the sound speeds up with increasing rpms. I had an exhaust leak before that I haven't fixed yet, but it wasn't like this while driving prior to changing the fuel pump. Any helps or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yeah,..sounds like plugs and wires, possible the opti. Popping through the exhaust is leftover fuel being burned so your motor is not getting the full fire. Does it hesitate and skip upon throttle? If so, then you have a problem with either the opti, wires, plugs. Check all of the above.
