My friend's got a 305 v8, twin turbo, pretty much stock internals, pushing like 16PSI of boost at 4k RPMs, holley stealth ram with the commander 950, cant get the engine to run for more than a few seconds without rev'ing it....
What can you guys recomend for the fuel map? what else should we try? Changed the wires and plugs today, that didnt help much....
Thanks,

sounds like it may need some idle programming, this can be a common problem with forced induction cars, does the idle fluctuate at all?? like up then down then back up???

Well so far, the only way it will run is if you just give it gas, let off, give it gas, let off, etc.
Since i havnt been the one in control, and i didnt think to ask him, i'm not sure, but i THINK its just one of those things that you FEEL its dying, so ya give it more gas, let off, etc.
Anyway, we ruined the first set of spark plugs because the engine was running VERY rich.....any suggestions on what to change and how much to change it to lean it out a little?

what size injectors is he running? also is there an adjustable fuel preasure regulator on the car??? if the fuel is right you may need to change the plugs to something that will burn more efficiently... To me it sounds like the car needs some serious programming to coincide with the turbos and other additions...
