I just read all the posts on this thread and I haven't yet seen this question asked: What are you comparing your car to? Have you driven/owned another CDI, have you had another CDI owner drive your car? I think my car has lots of pep, when compared to most diesels and even gassers but I wouldn't line it up against a Corvette... maybe you are expecting more than what the car has to offer?
I am only saying that because acording to SDS all systems check out and there are no codes, newish HP pump, clean EGR which by the way, can trow the car into limp with no hard codes. Sounds like intake and exhaust are doing what they are supposed to. What was the outcome of the injector test? Did you check fuel rail preasure? Although that should come up in the SDS test if faulty.
Again, the CDI is peppy but it all depends on your expectations.

EDIT: BTW, my car doesn't smoke even when floored, at least not what I would consider black smoke like my old (2006) Ram CTD. The exhaust stinks, but no black smoke.
