Installed Superram and no change WHY?????

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.

The only thing the Superram will do for you is that it will let you breath beyond 4500rpms.. And since you didn't add heads/cam(atleast i don't see anything in the sig). I don't know how much it would really help you.
Except for above 4500rpms of course...

If you just slapped on 24# injectors without altering the eprom, you are running far too rich. You must alter the eprom to let it know that you have larger injectors.

Also, the other points about lack of heads/cam are correct to. It is like slapping on the Miniram to a stock motor...yes, your engine will rev more and make more peak HP, but now it is mismatched (cam/heads). Combine that with larger injectors and no eprom change, and consider yourself lucky that you didn't go slower.
