(Battery to firewall, battery to tranny, tranny to frame rail and I think that's about it.)

The car wont even idle anymore either. If I let off the gas the car just wants to die and goes pig rich. If I hold it at like 3k rpm the a/f ratio goes back and forth all over the place. When I drove it yesterday it stayed at 10.0 rich for quite awhile and I could barely even accelerate or drive the car.

I'm gonna go pull the harness out and see if I find something obvious..
I've always just run one big wire from one of the starter bolts to the fire wall. It wouldn't hurt to make sure your grounds have good solid metal to metal contact.

Have you tried a different ecu with some 550's just for testing's sake?
