We purchased this SHO and and it ran like a champ. So of course we had
to mess with it. I added a cold air intake and a power chip and now it
runs like CRAP. It has 0 power. You can floor it and you get to about
55. I took everything off and still no luck. I reset the computer via
the neg. battery cable and it didn't change. I heard something about a
master reset switch under the dash. Does anyone have any ideas?? thanks

No such thing, check for a clogged fuel filter or possible restricted cat.

Like Shep said, check the catalytic converter. You can use a vacuum
gauge or if you have an infrared thermometer, check the areas before
and after the cat. If the cat is working properly, the area after the
cat will be hotter. Also check for a fuel pump for proper pressure.
