Default I need some opinions.

I have an 01 ws6 m6. I have Slp lts, slp y-pipe, and slp lm. I have the fast 90/90 and I have an slp lid and slp mass air sensor thats been descreened. Now my car hasnt been tuned yet but, I was wondering why I can barley pull on stock gt mustangs? Is it because I dont have enough backpressure and Im getting way too much air on a stock engine? I cant seem to figure this out. It kind of bothers me actually, that I put alot of money in bolt ons and can barely pull a stock 2000 gt mustang. What do you guys think?

Let's not start another " you need backpressure" argument - that is a bunch of

You have a great list of mods, but you need a tune so they can work together properly to make power.

thats pretty bad man! You probabley need the tune, Because with those mods hell even stock you should be able to destroy them even if you unplugged a couple of spark plug wires! It might even have somthing to do with your MAF being descreend. I had ran the MAF ends for a while then got it tuned and put the stockers on before they tuned it and it made a world of difference.
