Anyone want to guess? (sorry, it's a long one)

I went to pick up my car yesterday and now it's more f@cked-up than ever. As I showed up to pick it up, they were towing it back to the shop. It actually died on the mechanic yesterday when they were test driving it. My damn ignition module went out on the test drive (what are the odds). Luckily they had one on hand and had running within 30 minutes.

Now, the problem is, I'm way down on power. I can't even break the tires loose in first gear (I've never had this problem before). The motor doesn't seem to rev very smooth, it seems like it's not running on all cylinders.

When they were changing the springs, I had them reinstall my old 19# injectors (and the appropriate sample tube for the MAF) on the suggestion of my tuner. I've checked all of the connections to the injectors and all the spark plug wires and they appear to be fine. Would the 19# injectors make my motor run like sh!t? I wouldn't think so....

I'm about ready to put my baby out of it's misery. I can't afford to keep dumping cash into it. I just hope something is wrong with the tune. If I can't get it running better in the next few days, I'm going to cancel my dyno session (no sense in wasting the money on it if it's running like sh!t).

F@CK, I'm really starting to stress.
