Yes it does feel sluggish. There was a misfire but i fixed the wire and i wasnt getting the code. The only code i get is for the missing o2 sensors. To describe the powerloss, it just feels lik there is less torque . You floor it and it accelerates like if there was no back pressure .

You don't want backpressure. It needs a tune and the rest is because it's loud as **** (and probably sounds like it too) which will throw off your sense of acceleration.

Put some kind of high flow muffler on the thing...it will keep it from sounding like a ratted out farm truck and will probably feel faster to you.

Thanks! I think you're right. this morning I floored it and I was still spinning in second so its more powerful, just doesn't seem that way.
