So I'm having some problems getting mt talon to run correctly.

Here's a list of what's done to the car.

6 bolt block
7 bolt head
7 bolt intake mani
1g TB
GM Maf
Maf Translator Gen 2
Modified 1g bov
Aftermarket boost gauge
Apexi timer
Mbc
3" straight pipe exhaust, no muffler, no resonator, not cat from turbo back.

So here's the questions/problems;

Car runs/idles perfect, once I get on the throttle its good until about 4k rpm then it feels slow as hell, I've done blt's fixed the leaks I had, and still it does this.

I have no clue how to tune with the maft, I don't have a wideband, I have a palm and logging software, but I don't have the cable to hook up to the obd port. The translator has a com port on it, but I'm not sure if I can log hooked up to the translator.

Also, my tach and fuel gauge do not work on the gauge cluster, I get my reading for my tach from the translator(it monitors tach) and fuel I determine how much I have by when my fuel light comes on.

I'm thinking my knock sensor is what's causing the lowe power in higher rpms, I got it from a junkyard since my car didn't have one when I bought it. I was thinking about grounding the knock sensor to see if that fizes it, but it would only be temporary.

What do you guys think?
