Default feel of 224 112??

I put in a TR 224/224 in about 1500 miles ago. My car doesn't feel that powerful. I have FLP headers right now and the ls6 intake. plus a cut out. I don't have a lid anymore cuz my other one warped so I took it off when I got the cam installed. I thought from like a 60mph roll my car should walk my buddies stock TA with lid and cutout but he hangs with me. I would like to know as to why my car wouldn't be making the power. My car also lost its jerkiness. It feels like it pulls hard in the top end but other than that it doesn't seem to have an improvement.


Anyideas?
Mike

Maybe if you had tracktimes or dyno before and after might have it might have helped you see the difference. May be your are running rich. Need to scan your car or get it dyno'd with a wideband.

do you have an A4 or an m6? if its an A4 And you dont have a stall, you power band has been changed and isnt suited to a stock TC. if you have an M6, i aint got no clue dude. get it tuned. and if you have an A4 and your budy has an M6, hes going to do better off a roll. but try him from a stop
