Default problems with low rpms

If you let the clutch out without giving it enough gas the car will bog down. To fix the problems you can either put the clutch back in and let it get back to idle and try again. Or just ride it out.
Ive read this happens sometimes when you have your timing off a tooth. Its also really difficult to launch up hills. You have to take it to 2-3 grand to make sure you dont bog down.
set up: b7,block/z6 head. Mini-me
also car runs rich as mess.
looking for some ideas.

lol, feel bad for your thread

my car was bogging, so i advanced the timing
but keep in mind you have to be careful, becuase this can be realli bad for you car..
but when i put my distributor on it didnt line up prefect i had to turn it a little bit for it to go in, so i figured that this mite be the problem, and my car is running fine
but dont try this unless you know what your doing cuase you could mess up ur car pretty bad

lol, the dizzy will only go on one way so you cant mess that up. OP, sounds like you just dont drive very well to tell you the truth. i mean if it bogs when you try to take of give it more gas, other than that, if it takes alot of throttle to take off w/out bogging you could have a bad clutch.
