Default 02 camaro 5.7 dies once put in gear

02 camaro 5.7 runs fine at idle but dies once I put it in drive and give it any throttle... ive changed : fuel pump , 02 sensors, mass airflow sensor, cam shaft sensor, gap sensor fuel filter and im stomped.... if anyone has any idea please help.... I've just about put her back together and this is draining me... New transmission, rack and pinion, water pump, power steering pump , rear ead and i had the heads reworked....

Did you keep all the parts you pulled OUT ? You might need 'em.
What is Fuel Pressure WHEN you shift into gear ?

Always a chance with a new transmission that you have a torque converter clutch sticking, but that is a rare problem. If you had changed cams I would say it needs tuning, but all stock with just refreshed heads should not need any tuning.
