you should only need one thread to get a question out there.

where are you losing power? top end? down low? skipping/missing? smoke out the tailpipes? we need more information.

intake mann. seal leaking makeing huge vacuum leak? what about the o2 sensors? spark plugs good still or fouled out? coolant temp sensor good? WAY too many possibilities to try and guess. exactly how is it driving compared to before? and by brakes suck, do you mean no power assist and your pedal is very hard to push?
