Default Added MagnaCharger now Slower???? HELP!

Hey, I put the old Side Mount Magnacharger on my Truck Tuesday. Now it feels slower than before I installed it! No leaks or weird smells, just slower.
Any ideas?

Are you sure it is boosting? Do you have good fuel pressure? Are you using the superchips tune for it?

I would first get the boost gauge put on and make sure you are getting the right pressure.

yeah, and I have to wait till next week to get my Nelson Dyno tune
It sucked, almost 2G's and 8 hours of labor, and when I take it out for a spin, it is slow as hell. Needless to say, I am very frustrated.

What is it doing? Is shifting at unuaual rpm's, not revving all the way? Or is it just slow? You might want to check your throttle body connections, specifically your TPS.

It drives like normal, but without the powerband. I checked all of the throttle body sensors, they're on there.
