rev it up in neutral see what it does. watch the fuel pressure see if it drops off. u have an a/f gauge right? what gap are u running on ur plug it almost seems like spark plug blow out from boosting on stock ignition system with a big gap on the plug
gap it down to .02 or .025 if u havent already

gap @ 32, since im only running 8-10#.

af gauge goes all over the place when it does that, its hard to see on the vid but its bouncing off both ends of spectrum.

neutral acts fine so i think it may very well be low fuel.

jbrew, i hold my temper well now but i do get lippy. i told him to his face, mind you he has 100# and 1 ft on me, that i am very sure this is not something i caused. this is something he did or didnt do. my real problem with this is the fact that
A) i have a 94 housing which is garbage compared to my 97
B) i have already brought it back to him once and he gave it back to me saying it was electrical or pcm.
C) i dont want to pull that heavy transfercase out AGAIN... and i need to get a vehicle running lol
