Dose it pop out of the air cleaner or the pipes, if its out the pipes, your "shooting ducks"!

if its popping out the air cleaner you may be running too lean!

First, did you change the a/c as well? Or just use the slipons. If you only went with slipons it should have been ok. Recheck your clamps and tighten to specs using a torque wrench........ar at least as tight as you can get them. did you loosen the pipes at the head? If so, check them agin as well.
If you changed your a/c with the pipes, you need at the very least a download, or even better, some tpye of fuel management system, such as PCIII, SERT, etc.
Finally........and its a silly question, but did you keep the baffles in the SE slipons or are they knocked out/ drilled?
