incr. fuel pressure...maybe too lean

My car is stock (except for 2chamber flows). I just put in a pair of K&N filters.

Now the car doesn't have that low-end oomph. However, it does pick up speed more quickly. And the engine seems to breath better. Gets kinda better gas mileage too.

My question is. If I increase my fuel pressure a bit (without changing the fuel pump or injectors), will it make a difference? I think it's running kinda lean.

I'd like to get the oomph back when I step on the gas.
