Yep, I sent my ECU back for the stage III upgrade, and ran stock for a month.
Before they returned my Stage II ecu (III not ready, yet). BOY could I tell the difference again! I thing you just get used to it.<p>Jim De Arras

I felt the same way. Try riding as a passenger with a compitent driver at the wheel. That great (m)
rush of speed will be there - Being the driver all the time you've gotten used to the way the car performs,that's all.More power is the only cure!

You are not imaging it -- it is timing retard
1. Buy the best premium fuel you can buy. Someone on the board recommended Texaco 93 octane, and I'd have to agree it's the best I've found.
2. After you fill the tank with good gas, pull the negative battery cable for 15 seconds to reset the timing adaptataion in the ECU.
I think you'll be pleased with the result.
