Default High Flow Fuel Rail slowed me down?!

I have a aem intake and p2r fuel rail in my 94 del sol.

It seems like the fuel rail slowed me down.
Could I be running rich?
If I install TB and IM, will that balance it out?

This is just a continuation of this thread.

First you claimed you were boosted (which I knew back then you weren't) and then claimed you you installed some things and felt no difference.
Now you claim to be running slower without stating HOW you think you are running slower.
Did you get dyno'd (the butt dyno and the Force are not good benchmarks of power increase/decrease)? How do you know you're slower?

This is what happens when you just install things with no plan and no tune.
But I don't see how a fuel rail can slow you down. Get a gauge if you want to know if you're running rich. Do you smell gas or something? Are you kicking out a lot of smoke?

If you really want to know if it "slowed you down" then put the stock rail back on. You ARE aware a rail all by itself will not increase/decrease horsepower and is probably one of the LAST things you should swap out. The stock rail is MORE than capable of handling the meager horsepower you're attempting to coax out of it.

You can go ahead and install those things but you will probably hurt performance without a tune.
