K20A powered trackday EG, datalog inside, PLEASE HELP!

Greetings from Greece!
I am a proud owner of a EG civic , k20A ITR engne, rcrew 4-2-1header, 3inch exhaust-no cat, aem intake (the one ending in front of the right wheel) and i am running 100octane pump gas. (yes 100octane can be found easily in Greece)
As soon as i finished my swap, i faced a strange problem.RPM were dropping all the time, no matter how much i was pressing gas pedal or how steady.. So if you pressed the gas pedal until the rpms reach for example 4000rpm and hold it steady, rpms were dropping and then coming up again all the time. Up-->down--->up....etc.
I couldnt move the car...
Fuel pressure was steady at ~44psi, and no errors coming up to the kmanager. I have a brand new O2 sensor (primary) , no secondary, k20aITR.cal loaded, multiplexer disabled.
I tryed unplugging injector clips and reinstalling them again and i also changed my fuel pressure to 45+ psi and the problem almost solved.
Now i only have this rpm dropping around 2000rpm, no matter what gear.
I only see the INJ (ms) going zero and then the A/F going to 30:1 when i am around 1500-2500rpm... The engine sounds really strange (like it runs on 3 cylinders) and the car bogs and sputters for some seconds, but this thing vanishes after ~2000rpm...So if you start the car fast with high-rpm launch, you wont feel the problem at all.It revs fine..
Drive in the city on low rpm and you'll see this happening all the time.
Here is a datalog . Please check this for me as i am not familiar with Kmanager..and here in Greece i cant trust no one! :oops:
EDIT: I will post a small datalog soon-Thanks!
I've been told maybe its my MAP or TPS sensor..Anyone see a malfunction there?
Thanks,
Orfeas
