Default Whats wrong?

Ok, yesterday i was driving my car and all the sudden after this stop light i presed on the gas and it went but it almost felt like it was in neutral, well i stoped at the gas station like 30 miles later cause i wasnt near one. and i was low on fluid, added a quart and it was fine, well today i finally got my intake put on and the car doesnt seem fast at all, i ran a 15.8 1/4 and i should be like a whole second faster, also when i get up to about 80 mph the car doesnt want to go much faster and i feel something like a big bump or what not and i back off, does it every time, what could be wrong? is it my computer not adjusted to the CAI yet? or is it a problem with my transmission? what could it be? any ideas would be really appreciated.

Your 1/4 mile time for your 1992 ssei sounds right. My 95 has 20 more ponies than yours and i ran it bone stock with my friend in the car and ran a 15.6 When you get some more mods done and a smaller */c pulley you will feel it. Check willwren'* profile. That should be a good mod list to get ya goin

You'd think that 2.2 pulley would bring those times lower.

He has a pretty good mod list going. The intake may take some time for the PCM to learn, but your symptoms seem different.

Have you pulled codes yet?

That sounds kinda similar to my problem. Does it only do it after it has warmed up? I'm putting in a new fuel pressure regulator to fix it.

My guess is that I'm wrong about your fuel pressure regulator, then.

Sidenote:
Do you have the street runner or thermomaster chip? Your sig suggests a combo of the two. If it is the thermomaster, you need a 160 thermo.
