Another thing to check is your throttle travel. My car was anemic, but it had been that way since i had gotten it...until I found out that, with the pedal pushed all the way down, I still had 1/8" of throttle travel to get to the stop. I adjusted the linkage at the injector pump and it's like I have a whole new car...and it'll definitely run with, and maybe even outrun my mom's Civic
