Why is my car so damn slow? I've dumped a substantial amount of money into it, 16g runnin like 15 psi, fmic, full 3 inch exhaust with o2 eliminator, and it still doesnt feel that quick, now taken into account its auto, it has nothing from 1000-2500 rpms (insanely slow), and then above that it holds 15psi to redline but still not that fast, infact yesterday an rsx type s with intake,headers,exhaust held even with me for a little while then inched up on me, and ended up having me by about a 1/4 of a car by the time we shut down, and im just flustered on what the problem could be
 
Check for leaks, get a logger, Maft or safc, or both, and some 550 injectors. If your not happy with the results go 50 trim or convert to manual? I got a 5 spd with very few mods and I think i would take a rsx from a stop, but I don't know. -Matt
 
Time to invest in a datalogger of some sort. We can't magically tell you what's wrong with your car especially when it's just "slow." You didn't list injectors or a fuel pump? Did you do any research before bolting parts on your car? WTF
