Default HELP car wont run right

alright guys if i can get any help it would be awesome

problem: car runs like crap until 3500-4 or higher boost started after i swapped out the clutch

things we have looked for: wiring harness that i pinched when swapping the clutch out, o2 sensors, power to o2 sensors and the rest of the wiring harness, spark plugs, and COP's.

me and my mechanic are at a loss of what it could be

Yeah, buy a new wiring harness. This is not uncommon when nubs try changing out their own clutch, or when you a hire a cheap clueless mechanic.

so you think it is the wiring harness? my mechanic tested every wire and he said they all tested out fine

well it is not reading the right bank so i think it is something to do with the o2s but not sure what is causing it yet
