It should feel massively different, especially torque wise.
I suspect there may be a problem with the car to start with before the conversion.
Usuall things to look at are the voltage at the fuel pump under load, how old is the fuel filter ?
If it has not had one a fuel pump rewire is going to help resist meltdowns, and is a must, as well as the fan rewire.
