TA won't stay running

HELP, I have an 85 TA, 350 Corvette engine with 305 heads and tune port injection. Lately my car starts up fine, but will not stay running unless i give it gas right away. I have put in a new oxygen sensor, tpi, fuel filter, mass air flow filter, am putting in the best gas I can buy and am putting in high octane additives. Also my car stalls at stop signs and pulls back on the highway. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP WITH YOUR SUGGESTIONS?

Transmission: th350 w/ high stall C.
i have the same problem because i did plently of mods, then I bumped up my fuel pressure and the problem went away. However everyone says that the fpressure thing only comes into play when your at WOT, however Im sure 2-3 psi up or down will effect idle and regular driving. So try to bump the pressure up a bit to see if it is that. I read in your sig. that you changed your fuel filter...well unless something got plugged up in process, fuel wise it could be your fuel pump.

Thank you for your advise! I do have a question for you though. What does WOT mean?
