Do you have any CEL's? What condition is the clutch in that is currently in the car?
Also, what transmission is in the car?

Your tps is more than likely what is making hold back. Make sure yo u dont have the map sensor plug and the tps senor plug backwards.

go to a junkyard and find a 92-95 downpipe that has a o2 sensor housing...and what tranny do u have? cuz u just said in ur ad " a b16a2 nd an LS and B16 cable tranny "
which makes no sense to me, all i got outta that was that u have a b16a2 with i think a b16 cable tranny? and get a voltmeter and check the voltage on the tps and map sensors. sounds like one of the 2 is the culprit on your slow b16 issue lol sounds like my z6 would have a field day with it, in the current shape ur running, of course...but check those and get back to us
