Has it run better with the Superchip prior to this, or is it just not as strong as you expected...there may not be anything wrong with it. What tune are you running?

My 99.5 runs a little crappy with the bully dog set at 75-100hp. I think it's normal. As long as it returns to running good at a stock setting.
