Feeling less Horse power/ Torque after few mods?

Have any of you feeling less torque or hp producing out of your car after some mods? I have 15/6 MD iso Spacer, strup headers and test pipes, stock Y pipe and Top Speed Pro 1 exhaust. or I might have a leak somewhere again...???
will a worn out clutch effect the situation that I'm experiencing?

please help! any suggestions would be helpful!!!

I'm not surprsied, I wasn't happy with my car after I put my exhaust mods on.

Then I put the unichip on, and that all changed!

Your highend should be pretty nice.

I seriously doubt reseting will do much.


Managed for sure will help, but it aint cheap.

You're probably just getting used to the gains... sounds like it's time for more mods!

yes, I was thinking about getting a management system too, though I'm not so familiar with it, which ones do you suggest?
thanks!

It might help temporarily, until the ECU adjusted.

GO ECU Reflash/Piggy back for the best results.

yes, i think that's an option too, so it would be better than getting engine management system? I can't remember the places that I can send to, but that's the idea right? take off my ECU and send to be reflashed?

What are your future plans?

Are you staying NA, or are you going FI?

If you're staying NA, then an ECU reflash @ Technosquare should be more than enough; trust me, you'll like it.

If you're going FI, then UTEC might be worth it.

Certain mods may give a little loss on the low end but you gain on the top end of your RPM range. That is why you may think you feel a "loss of power" because technically down low you may have lost some. only way to tell for sure would have been to do a before/after dyno.
