Whats the relationship of the choke when this occurs? Is the backfire through the carb or the tailpipe?
Is this equiped with an EGR?
Any vaccum accessories missing or removed?

If you took out the cat and exhaust then you are too lean.

Do a plug chop and check your plugs, if they are not tan or grey but you find they are super clean and see white blistering then you are TOO lean.

If they are black dry and sooty then you are too rich.
