Default PLEASE HELP!!! I have been having some trouble getting swap to run right.

I think I may have jumped a tooth on my GSR. I recently swapped it in and have not had good acceleration since I started it. My acceleration in the low RPMs is not that much better than my old dx motor. Also when I get to about the 3-5k range is lags for a second and then continues to accelerate.
I'm still waiting for my new cat to come in, because the old one doesn't fit so I'm running an almost open header. Also, my IAB is not working properly and I'm waiting for a part on that. I have checked the timing, all plugs and wires are new. New rotor, new cap.

I know that I have a bunch of problems, but I'm trying to get them all worked out one-by-one. Can anybody PLEASE HELP me! I would REALLY appreciate it. TIA

Are you throwing any CEL's? Running an open header will hurt your low end power but nothing like you are saying.

No, I'm not throwing any CEL's at all. Yeah, the low end torque blows. I can't even get wheels if I try.
