My vehicle starts up fine and idles no problem, but over revs its has no power what so ever. Not the catalytic converter either because i have gutted it when taking off. It just revs up and barely moves. It still shifts, but just revs right up and sounds like all the back pressure is just coming from the intake.

Maybe the gutting procedure left some catalyst inside, now it has shaken loose and is in there sideways blocking airflow?
