Default Question for Sportshift owners

what kind of response do you get when you "floor it" from a stand still? I don't even get a chirp from the tires- my car bogs down. I have an AEM CAI installed that just gives a loud noise but my car doesnt go anywhere fast.
my "check engine" light came on one time so i brought it to a dealership. they couldnt find anything wrong- they said ss preludes were red-flagged for blowing the o-ring on the torque converter and transmission problems- so it might be one of those. but they had no idea and said my car was fine and to come back if it comes on again.
I havent had the light come on again- but my car still seems way too sluggish from a standstill. Do you think it could be the o-ring or tranny or possibly related to the intake (i know of the ECU problems with emissions and have tested my car out after disconnecting the battery and such). If you guys have any ideas or suggestions i'd love to hear them- all i've gotten from friends so far is crap for buying a "torque-less honda"
thanks a lot!
