Default Feels like I'm driving a civic

I think that I've just gotten used to it now and it feels like I'm driving a civic or something is wrong. Can anyone tell me if I might be losing power in my set up? or reccomend cleaning sensors or anything? I need gears, the 3.27s aren't cutting it anymore, I might step up to 3.73s.

yeah it happens you get used to the power and it feels like nothing special. Go throw a 65mm tb, U/Lcontrol arms, CAI and UD pulleys. If you can.

Lol, I'm taking a day off of school tomorrow, that way I will have a 10 day spring break and I'm going to throw the stock h-pipe back on it and get my backpressure back and I'm bidding on some intakes and throttle bodies right now, that oughta wake it up.

get yourself some long tubes, will keep most of the streetable torque where you want it and will rip at wot.

I heard that the AODs and longtubes aren't very good friends and I'm having troubles with not enough back pressure, I've heard that you lose alot more with longtubes. I'll get it worked out, and this reminds me I still need to set my TPS. Do you guys think that running my conical filter straight off of my 75 mm Pro-M MAF is hurting performance, I don't think that it is, but who knows.
