Default car feels like it bogs lately

whenever i nail it, it doesnt spin anymore and feels like its dragging ***. could it be the tune being off from LTs and no cat? everythings working fine and the clutch isnt slipping. im actually thinking the tires since i cant get anything more than a faint homo chirp out of them. you can feel the torque hit the rear end though on the 1-2.

Have you checked for some false knock. It will pull timing and rob power. Clogged feul filter maybe. Are your tires new?

Is it throwing any codes? Just cuz the the SES light isn't on doesn't mean its not throwing codes. Even if the light is off the code is stored in the PCM. I'm betting it's something simple like old plugs, wires, O2's, maybe even a dying opti.

Could be the new tires. When I got new tires I couldnt spin either. Hell with 2.73s I can only spin a little anyways.

i have OTVC taylor wires and fresh TR55s. it isnt anything like that. opti is great it revs efforlessly. o2s are new from the header install.

im thinking the AF/R is off from having the lid and LTs.
