New Engine
 
I had my lt1 rebuilt and turned into a 383 stroker, new opti,new msd coil headers,new plugs and autolite plug wires. The car has power but when i am pushing on the gas pedal the car feels like the engine is missing or studering. I also smelled gas and smelled like rubber was burning.any ideas I had been driving the car for the last 2months with out any issues,thanks for any input or advice!!!!

Maybe you pinched the wiring harness somewhere?

Have you done anything recently under the hood?

You burned through a sparkplug wire and its grounding out.

Your smelling gas because a cylinder isnt firing.
Your smelling burnt rubber because the wire is burning.
You car is misfiring because the wire is grounded out.
