SDL acceleration problem

One of my SDLs seems agonizingly slow on acceleration. Once it gets to 10-15 MPH, it seems to be much better. Starting from a full stop, it is extremely slow.
Put on a new prefilter and the other main filter is relatively new.

Checked the shifting and it shifts fine through all four gears. Now, it does seem to lack a little power overall, but mainly at stop to slow speed.

Would old injectors possibly cause this? What are the other possibilities? Engine seems to turn up RPMs without a problem.

Thanks

I cured this issue by eliminating the ALDA completely on the SDL's.

It hasn't presented any problems since it was originally accomplished.
