Default Slight loss of power?

I've noticed lately that my car has been lagging just a little bit on the power when I get on it a little bit. I have no mods, except for exhaust. It seemed before like maybe the vtec would engage for something to add a little burst at maybe around 3500 or so (I'm not sure), but lately I haven't been feeling anything like that. It's not a big deal, but I'm just curious more than anything what may cause something like that?

Have you done routine maintenance? Maybe you're just used to the car. Time for more mods!

turn your a/c off and make sure your 1200 watt amp isn't sucking all your power haha just kidding...maybe change your spark plugs and dump in a thing of fuel injector cleaner next time you gas up.

i've noticed that when you turn on the AC the car drives like crap. but in a teg, even with the AC on... the car still drives fine.. probably have to do with the engine i suppose... isn't there another way to reroute teh 1200 watt amp so it won't drag the engine down?

AC will do that? :doh:

Seriously though, I'll try spark plugs & injector cleaner. I'm not sure when that stuff was taken care of...I've only had the car since January. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions...I'll give them a whirl.
