Default Car acting weird after 75 shot

I have a 2000 TA with 224 cam and walbro 255, svo 30lbers, and a nos wet kit with 75 jets in it. Timing is being pulled out by 3 degrees with a timing tuner. I sprayed it about 5 times or so and now the car is kind of hard to start, and when I shift it acts like it has no power for a second then picks up all of a sudden. Any help would really be appreciated.

I would check your plugs as it sounds as if a ground strap was burnt off....

Are you running colder/non platinum plugs?

You "should" be running NGK tr6 or equivalent...

Godd luck!

It was the fuel line on the fuel pump... it was siding off. This is the second time it came off!

This reinforces the need for a in car fuel pressure gauge. Can't recall how many times the in-tank "high pressure" line blew out of my car, or the clamp cut it, or it popped it off until I got it right. A quick glance at the gauge would have saved a lot of troubleshooting time.
