What brand is your intake? Poorly engineered intakes will actually destroy performance rather than gaining anything. That should be the first thing you should check into. Try putting the stock intake box back in and if the problem goes away....then you've found the solution.

Yeah I had the exact same problem when I bought a $20 cheapie off ebay
I don't how good the WeaponR is, but it should be better than the ebay piece. I would recommend you to go with Injen since they actually dyno test all of their cars with the intakes. They cost about $250 or so but I guess thats what you have to pay for the additional research. Your next step up will be the SRT intake, but those are close to the $500 range.

I'm currently running my stock intake until my custom turbo is dropped in...hopefully by next week
