power not normal

Can't break the tires loose no matter how hard I step on the gas.
When in park I can rev her all the way out, but when in gear she won't pull hard, i hear the cam spinning like mad and I'm throwing no codes? I got a new coil but have to put on, what else could it be?
New Opti
New Plugs
New Wires
New water pump CSI

When was the last time you replaced your fuel filter?

You hear the cam spinning?

Some data logs would be a good way to help diagnose what is going on.

i changed out the fuel filter about 6k ago, i'll change it again. I just drove the car it feels like the plugs to the opti are on wrong. I double check them also. The car ran harder with the old opti.
