check and make sure you do not have any vacuum leak first, it seems your car is leaning out ,then check your spark plugs

All spark plugs fine. Air box was tight down but chocked engine. The car runs a load sweeter with it off :-/

If it runs better with box of , it must be running rich not lean .Try cleaning / replacing MAF sensor .
