not sure how you expect us to help here. just saying "my car is slower" doesn't give us a whole lot to work with. more details, mod list, and the exact differences that you're seeing would help.

[50 trim w upgraded agp injectors and fuel system, catless cutout dp, upgraded fmic, etc]the car runs fine till it goes into higher boost and when it gets there it doesnt pull as hard as it used to, all this happened shortly after putting leaded race fuel, replaced downstream o2 sensor got rid of ck engine light, car idles good, runs good in low boostbut when it gets to 19psi it doesnt pull hard like it should everything was fine before i put leaded fuel, theres no CEL codes

i doubt that it has anything to do with the leaded gas. i've been running c16 for the last two seasons with no problems, haven't even had to replace my o2 sensors yet.

it's hard to say what the problem is really. i would start with the basics though and work from there. do a boost leak test, change your plugs and wires, and check your wga
