Default Need some help... (solved)

Well i replaced my own intake plenum and i got my truck running. I replaced:
Spark plug wires
Distributor cap and rotor
spark plugs
plenum plate
all gaskets needed
and i cut my runners down about an inch or so.

Truck idles okayish it was sketchy at first and really rich but the computer smoothed it out. But when i go to drive it, under acceleration it seems like its getting held back. Held back in like chops. Kinda like when i accelerate it acts like its sick and chops very lightly. One of my buddies said its not getting enough oxygen mixed with the gas?or can it be a bad ping under acceleration?

Check your plug wires real good you could have got one crossed also these dodges are real particular to how the wires run to the plug do it by the manual or the spark will jump to another wire or to any metal near by. You can fire it up at night and see if you see any arcing. I had a simular problem when I did mine. rerouted the wires and it stopped.next check vacume lines.also check the torqing sequence on the manifold. Worst case a gasket slipped.
