'03 max, unreliable power.......help

I have a 03 max SE with Injen CAI, Warpspeed B-pipe, and HR racing Muffler.
Somedays the car rips off the line and has really smooth reliable power at any speed. Other days the car seems very sluggish as if it has lost 20 or so HP. I have reset the ECU but I still notice it every once and awhile. WHATS WRONG?

I have the same problem too... sometimes my car feels like its pulling a trailer. I even had the TSB done and had new MAF and updated ECU.

Wondering if TechnoSquire ECU will solve this problem...

Can this just be how the autos are? I have driven my friends Acura TLS and it feels the same way.

Thats what I was thinking. But it shouldn't be like that. For some reason, my Max runs much better on the weekends...during the week, its like I have to floor it to get it moving...

You should either read the FAQ or Search for that answer, but;

Ghetto air box mod, or ported air box...

Well its a 6 speed so its not auto, and I did take the weater into account, it could be 50 both days with no humidity but i still notice a significant difference. Well I guess I will try the TSB, does anyone have that link? Also I accidently cut one of the MAF wires and had to resecure it on my own,,,this they will still do the TSB?
