No 2 cars are alike. I would buy a wideband and see where the air fuel ratio is.

I'm going to install a straight pipe 2.5" exhaust today, and see how it drives

Ok so i found the problem. I was running on 2 cylinders. I had 2 of the spark plug wires mixed up, finnally fixed. The car is beast now, really fast. Pulls nice and hard.

Start the car, it starts up nice i guess.
Then when i drive it, it drives like ---- when i try to accelerate above 3000 rpm
And when i do go in boost (very little), it feels like its pulling VERY VERY slowely.

Could it be that im running on stock fuel pump?

And im also running 87 octane gas Or what could be the problem.

And i also didnt put the resistor box on.

I would install that aftermarket pump and retune with it. everyone always says to replace your pump i never have heard otherwise.
