Since the engine is able to breath better you might play with the timing and fuel mixture a little.

I would double check your plug wires for being on the correct plug.

Yeah i ran true duals on it but the muffler shop didnt put in any h pipe or x pipe to help with the flow between the 2 engine banks i can almost bet thats were the problem is coming from and i checked all plug wires for proper placement.

^ I agree

Also an H-pipe would benefit low end torque some.
