"only bad in the water" is not a description of a problem. Please describe "bad".

Is it making power on all cylinders? How do you know that?
Are all throttles opening fully? How do you know that?
Was link 'n' synch done by the book? Was idle set with it in the water and in gear?

Please post in complete sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation.

In these times of very heavy traffic helpers sometimes ignore posts they can't make sense of.
