Drive it for a while, let the computer relearn the engine.

Did you replace O2 sensors? Do anything with the cat?

Ah, cool. Did you do that before the plenum? Was your cat really bad? Did you notice any power increase? Do frogs have spots?

yeah the y-pipe was replaced a month or more and the plenum was just finished a week ago. i did notice more power after the plenum/tune-up. and yes some frogs do have spots.

funny thing though is before i put the new o2 in (post plenum) i took it for a drive and it was uber powerful. not so much now. but a lot better then before!

11 is ok around town, does suck you didn't get at least a small increase though. Maybe you just need to keep your foot out of now, with all that new found power.
