Ok so i unplugged the MAF and the idle was up and down then it dies. So im guessing its not that. I think its the TPS im going to get one and get a fuel filter and try both of them. If its not any of these then i guess ill take it to a mechanic. It has 4:10's M/T d/rs drag shocks and lcas and it still feels like **** on take off. I swear i think my cuzs 94 accord was faaster on take off. I lost on take off to a big *** dodge ram diesel yesterday.

If you just did plugs check everything in that area. Are all the COP's seated correctly on the plugs? What kind of plugs did you put in and what gap?

Make sure none of your fuel injector connectors got disconnected by accident.

your problem may also be your getting massive downforce from that airplane wing and the car just cant accelerate.

holy confusion batman....

OK, So let me get this straight, you replace the COPs with used ones from a 5.4 right? You changed the fuel filter and TPS right? Now it runs well in the top end, but has no low end pull? After all this crazy chit you messed with/changed, did you happen to disconnect the battery? If not, you should. But I am still not sure what is causing lack of low end...unless of course its your converter slipping.
