The car has just seemed kinda sluggish and my throttle response isnt the greatest. just doesnt seem like im making the power i should be but im not sure if im just expecting to much. I know i need a tune but just didnt know if anyone would have any suggestions on other things i should try? i do know i have a tiny exhaust leak to on my crossover for my headers but that should be getting fixed tomorrow
    An exhaust leak before the o2 will destroy fuel trims...

    could be running pretty rich, that would explain sluggishness...intake has nothing to do with that.

    Fix that, check the motor mounts...see if they are toast.
