Like Willay said. Only way to tell for sure is to take it on a rolling road.

whats the colour/ reg of the car?

The dbilas or rep inlets shift all the power to the top end, I had the same problem,...

originally I had schrick bullet cams and a 4-2-1 manifold and my 1.8 was really quick! I then fitted the inlet and it was horrible!

ditch the inlet, make a few quick and spend elsewhere, or buy some vernier pulleys and see if you can bring the power band lower down in the rev range?
