if your spark plugs are bad/old/gummed up you might be losing horsepower.
If your air filter is clogged, you might be losing HP.
If your fuel filter is old/clogged, you might be losing HP.
If your compression is dimishing, you might be losing HP.
If you have a 6-port N/A and no air-pump or the 5th and 6th ports are malfunctioning, you might be losing HP.
If your catalytic converters are to plugged up, you might be losing HP.
If you drive a turbo without a working Turbo, you might be losing HP.
If your air filter is clogged, you might be losing HP.
If your fuel filter is old/clogged, you might be losing HP.
If your compression is dimishing, you might be losing HP.

yea it seriously sounds like either bad ignition transfer (bad term) or definitly could be clogged catalytic converters, but make sure that if you replace them with a DP or MP that you watch carefully not to over-boost...
If you still seem to have no power after that, I would recommend maybe checking the ignition cables to make sure they are getting good amounts of power through for the spark plugs (also check battery cables for corrosion).
Other than that, it might just be compression...god forbid...

Well I haven't changed the wires yet, but that will be one of the next things on my list. I have been very concerned about overboosting so I think I'll have all my precautions ready for the raised boost levels, plus if it goes too high I am going to put the stock intake back on. Thanks alot.

Yea I think I noticed the same thing. When I fill it up I notice some more power. Still I know I am lacking alot. Need to figure this **** out. I am pretty sure I have low compression though.
