Default somebody stole 100HP from me, help!!

well i had my car on jack stands for a while doin a lot of stuff and i got it finished and back on the road and it drives like somebody stole about 100 hp from me. I put on 4 new rotors all new brake pads a new 3sx crank pulley, and a new fuel pump, and i did a compression check on the front 3 cylinders...156 psi on all three, and i installed a wideband UEGO.

so then i get it off jackstands and i rehook the CAS and i start the car then i remembered i was supposed to unhook the battery for 10 seconds after unhooking the CAS so i shut off the car and did that. so i restart the car and im drivin around breakin in the new brake pads and after i get done with that i start to test the new fuel pump and i hit 10 psi solid and the logger says 13.9 psi solid from the pump and my car just feels like im drivin a damn civic or somethin. and when i pull in the drive to check things out i hear a very very light rubbing as im coasting up to the drive.

any ideas???

You have a rotor/pad issue....pretty major if it feels like you describe.

Let the car cool (test the rotors temp) and then SLOWLY do a short drive (like a 1/2 mile) and then get out and check the temp of each rotor [they WILL be warm....but if you have a stuck caliper/pad, it will be VERY hot...so be careful ] )

If you have a stuck pad, it will burn your finger after a half mile. Just touch it with one you don't use much

the test was inconclusive, no one rotor was hotter than the other???? im freakin lost, is there any chance that it is because i tourqued the crank pulley on way to much because i didnt have anybody to hold the brake to keep it from spinning so i grabbed my electric impact drill and hit it a few times with that, its supposed to go up to 220 ft lbs and that thing is supposed to be tourqued to somthing near 140 ft lbs?
