Thank You.
Instead of replacing parts by trial and error till the issue is fixed, why not do diagnostics to pinpoint the issue? It's a lot cheaper that way. Zacharias pretty much covered everything to check, except ALDA/lack of boost..

What is your 0-60 time? My 85, in decent running condition is 14 seconds. After new Monark nozzles (popped and balanced), it went down to 13 seconds.
