Default just put on my MIL elim's... HP loss???

So I just put on the Steeda MIL eliminators and took the car out for a run around the block after resetting the ECU and all that good stuff ... C/E light was off which was all that I really expected out of it, that and a little better gas mileage potentially, and my buddy who was riding with me actually said that he felt the car LOST power ever since the MIL's were applied .. not enough to make or break a race, but enough to where he felt a difference because not as much fuel is getting to the engine as before, when the C/E light was on. Would you guys consider this accurate or..? I would imagine that before I had the MIL's on all that fuel getting to the engine was not being used efficiently enough, hence why I purchased them ... I don't know, just a little confused. Thanks.

I'm not sure that those rear O2 sensors even effect fuel, so maybe he's packed a few lbs on since the earlier runs and you're feeling the extra weight

The rear sensors have nothing to do with performance...[/align][/align]From the factory shop manual:[/align]
The front sensors (HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst will be used for primary fuel control while the ones after the catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) will be utilized to monitor catalyst efficiency.
