What are you running for fuel management? What injectors? I see you posted chipped p72, but is it tuned since the swap? ANY CEL?

Have you checked the mechanical timing?

Did you find a CEL?

Sure sounds like a timing issue.

Are the plugs and injectors in the correct firing order?

Have you measured the fuel pressure?
