Sounds like a bad install on the prom or a really bad vaccum leak.

Those sound awfully big for a 383. It is super/turbochargered or have nitrous?
Is the computer programmed for 37's?

What does it run like with the stock tune on it? What is the fuel pressure set at?

I think he is waiting to find out that bit of info from Alvin. If it is set for the right size in the tune then it wont really matter what size is used as long as its big enough to flow enough fuel. The computer will calculate how long each injector has to squirt for the required amount of fuel based on the size set in the tune.
