I recorded it.

Perhaps if you guys see and hear it, you can get an idea of the problem. At 3:00 on the video, that's where I take off from the red light. Notice how slow the take off was.
Didn't think it was slow? I was flooring it just to get that take off speed.
Any ideas? It's FAR worse if the AC was on.

What PCM are you using? What MEMCAL is in it? What injectors are you running on the engine?

Don't know about the PCM, it's not marked with any numbers or names, but it is equipped with the LT1 stock program (as I was told).
No clue about the injectors, I'd need to ask..

They're not the L99 injectors are they? They're not big enough for the 5.7 LT1 and this can cause this issue. Also, check your fuel and air filters.
Check the ignition timing as well. I know the Optispark can be bumped a little in either direction to zero the timing. I am unfamiliar with the procedure on this, however.

They shouldn't be L99 injectors, the guy promised "anything that must be replaced for LT1 will be replaced".
I will check the fuel filter sometime next week (due to that lincoln in the driveway now, I now can borrow my fathers old Crown Vic for my guy to be repaird), and will check air filter tomorrow..
My air filter is one of those K&N (i believe that's the name), that are washable. I've washed it once, but the performance never restored.
