Angry Running slow!????

Alright I installed Hooker Longtubes a couple months ago, and I put the O2's into the headers at my exhaust place. I took the cats off, and am just running through a cut-out. I ran an 8.8 (1/8 mile) before and I just went to the track and barley ran a 9.5. It barly takes off, and taps the rev limiter. I just had the trans rebuilt for the third time and only have 78000 miles on it. I took some of the !air stuff off and some egr but didn't plug it. Could bad 02s cause this? I think I am running rich because my exhaust smells and it pops sometimes.

thanks in advance;

You removed the EGR and A.I.R. system and didn't plug the holes? If that's the case you're driving around with holes in your intake from the EGR and as a result have a bad vacuum leak. That's your problem.

If you didnt block the egr then you car will not run very well at all.
