well what kind of power loss is it does the car totally shut off or does it just stop pulling? Are you running 550's w/o any fuel system?

It is probably way too rich and/or hitting MAF overrun.

Yeah, you can't run bigger injectors without a way to compensate for it. The car thinks it still has 450's in it, so it is putting way more fuel in that what it should be. Get the SAFC installed.

Take it to a shop and have them tune it after you install it. If you need the car asap call ahead to make sure they are not backed up 3 weeks.
