Default Loss of power after installing used engine.

My first post here on rennlist, my name is Jaime Luvgen, I got a deal on a 87 951 long block to replaced my old motor, the car is running now but there is no power at all. Do you guys think the new motor is bad, I got it from a rennlister.

TIA

Jaime

Install two superchargers and you'll make power.

Well this is for my DD it's a 83 944, the block cracked because I was using too much NOS, so I replaced with a 944 turbo block but I don't feel as much power as before.

What I am planning to do is to do the full turbo conversion with a T-88e.
