What's UP! Installed Superram and NO CHANGE!

I installed a Superram, and I already have the base. I also installed new Accel 24lb Injectors. I only went for one quick ride and did a 0-60 with my Gtech and it was identical to the way it was running with the TPI. I could feel a small loss of torque below 2500 but I could also feel a stronger top end. I thought for sure the car would run better. It did feel a touch smoother though, but that's probably the injectors. I have been setting a code 23 though. My TPS does appear to be working fine so I have to think it is something else. I was throwing this code before I did the mods too. Any help or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

You need to update your chip and fix that code 23.

Yes I am still using stock heads and cam, but shouldn't I see a difference anyway?? Or are you saying that I have reached the max potential of the heads and cam? I am thinking of having that chip burned, but I am not sure that is the real problem. Thanks.
