What size is the Xpipe? What do you have from the Xpipe back? Im no EFI wizard, but I have heard that the computer will "learn" new mods to a certain point. How long did you drive it with the new midpipe?

You will notice a seat-of-the-pants loss in initial off-the-line torque, but you have increased your HP over the length of the powerband. Stick a set of gears in there, problem solved.
