I blew my EF Tikford intake apart (on gas). It had crap top end with that intake. While working out what I was going to replace it with I drove it with on intake or ring. It had top end. Put an AU intake (new at $90) with ring and still had most of that top end.

Do a blocky without the intake and see how much topend you gain.

well i guess one thing to consider is if your running an XR6 ECU that's got a factory tune based on running a higher pressure fuel regulator and your still running the lower pressure fuel regulator it may be getting confused.
I'd a. refit a stock ECU and at least 'test' that, b. get a hold of a Tickford sepc fuel pressure regulator and see how that goes.
