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!!!!

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.
