How is it tuned, is it a chip or Tweecer? If it's a chip, make sure it's still seated in the PCM.

I don't know what size MAF sensor. It came with the wire harness kit the part # is FMS M-12071-A50. I got it from Summit Racing Equipment.
I have no chip in it. Its just the ECU that came with the wire harness kit.

I agree with Paul, that setup is going to need a custom tune. The ECU that came with that kit was not calibrated for all mods you have.

Get a Tweecer or Moates Quarterhorse and start reading. Paul Conanski installed a wide-band O2 sensor to monitor his air/fuel ratio. You will need something similar to keep that beast of yours alive. It's going to be a steep learning curve if you can't find a shop to trailer that thing to or buddy up with someone familiar with the tuners listed above.

I've been working on it for a few years now. Stripped it down to the frame and repainted it. did a little body work on the front end and put 2004 range rover lights in it. Need to get some paint touched up on the hood then I will get some pics.
