I recently finished my exhaust and intake setup on my car and for the first week or so it gave me a good boost in power. I noticed today though that it feels alittle flat and i'm trying to figure out whats wrong with it. I'm thinking that since I relocated my intake to right in front of my radiator and changed to an open element + the addition of the exhaust setup that I may not be getting enough fuel. I haven't checked my plugs yet but what do you think it could be? Is there any point in upgrading my primary injectors to the T2's as well as my secondaries or will it just make me run rich in the low end?

Forgot, I also rebuilt my master and slave and installed an ACT clutch as well.. I don't see how these could be causing it though.. it engages perfectly

Well first of all, there is no need to upgrade the fuel injectors/pump on an n/a anyhow. An S-afc would be nice though, you'll find out leaning out the car will produce more power. You're probably running rich right now anyhow. I would swap the stock injectors back in. And if you did upgrade your primaries you would run rich through the entire rpm band. So its slower now huh? Probably have a vacuum leak, since you messing around with you intake, that will cause a power loss. Do you have any exhaust leaks? That will also cause a power leak. What i would do is return the intake to whatever you had before and see if that fixes it.
