Default Car not running good

I have a 2001 camaro with a cam headers no cats or O2 sensors and nitrous. It has always ran good except just alittle while ago it hasn't been. When i am driving around normal it is fine but as soon as i want it to get up and go it sputters and then once the RPM's come up higher it pulls you back in the seat. I think it might be something electrical just doesn't seem to be fuel but who knows. I just bought a new tps from the GM dealer thinkin that was it but no luck. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Did you do all of that work yourself? Always check the most simple stuff first, if you haven't already: fuel filter, plugs, wires, fuel pressure, etc..

Ya i put in new spark plugs 2 months ago. The fuel filter i did towards the end of the year, The plug wires were 2 yaers old so maybe that could be it. It has a stock fuel pressure regulator in it but i don't know how you could check it. Last year in october i put in 36lb. fast injectors. Dio you think it might be one of my coil packs?

I'd change the plug wires. Do you have still have stock wires? Upgrade to some 8 or 10mm's.

I have the 8.8 MSD wires. I will have to check them and see if they are bad. Thanks a lot.
