Default need help itr not running right

alright well heres the story had new rings installed in the motor and put the motor back in the car with new oil pump,water pump, head gasket,arp head-studs and aem adjustable cam gears. then i start the car up and it shuts off right away talked to a couple friends and checked out everything was good until l found out the ecu is bad so i bought a chipped obd1 p72 and ran it with a conversion harness. now the car runs and drives but boggs out around 3k rpm don't know why i checked out all the wires,vac lines,timing, everything is good

so can someone please help me out here

Well what do you expect? You have plugged in a NON ITR ECU. How do you expect the car to run well after it is running off an ECU not tuned for it?
