Gains for (performance) parts are based at the hp peak which, most of us dont normally drive at. You may find you get better top end and possibly a couple hundred more rpms of power before it starts to drop off but if it flows TOO freely you may lose a touch of throttle response and midrange torque, heres why : when it comes to airflow (intake AND exhaust), airflow velocity is everything!

But give it a week for your computer to adjust and hopefully it will sort itself out
