Default issues at high speeds after performance upgrades

Hey peeps, well I have searched and searched the forums and have not found an answer so Im going to ask in a new thread.

I have a 2005 Xa. I recently installed a cold air intake that routes the air filter to the drivers fenderwell, a Jet Mass Air Flow Sensor, a performance header and high flow exhaust.

The problem Im having is...when I drive 70mph or more I feel the car kind of chugg slowly almost like its running out of fuel. I have no check engine lights on...everything looks good on the scanner as far as sensor values, and the car runs great at all other various driving conditions.
I am wondering if I need to upgrade my fuel injectors or if it could be some other kind of problem.
If its injectors.......how much bigger should I go?

I'd swap the old Flow sensor back in. Just a guess, but the lack of gas could be from the sensor not sensing as much air as is actually there.

Ok. Thanks for the reply. I will try that tomorrow. I think I will drive it with the scanner hooked up and record the values of the 2 different sensors. I will post the results.
