Default could this be a sign of engine running lean???

i have a drag gen 3 kit on a b18c1 with rc 310's and the car fells like its making good power untill 5000 rpm then it seems to loose a signifigant amount of power.My cel is on because one of my 02 sensor wires has be severd. would this be a lean mix issue.also my car studers a little under partial acceleration but i already adjusted the gap down. let me know what you guys think.

that could be allot of things, are you sure that you are only throwing the one code because no o2 reading? Yes a loss of power can be traced to running lean, along with a list of other things.

My cel is on because one of my 02 sensor wires has be severd.
this is called limp mode...you are seeing no fuel increase, hence lean...I wouldnt take it too far above idle until the CEL is gone...
my 2 cents...

an O2 sensor problem will not put the car in "limp" mode, just FYI. But i agree that you should take care of that before doing anything else.
