Default Short ram intake

Hey i have a 1999 gs300 and i just put a short ram intake on it.
When i smash the gas to the floor it feels great. The car is peppy and very responsive. But when i put the throttle half way down it feels like the car has lost power. Any help would be great.

With the short ram intake, you do lose a little low end torque but gain high end torque.

or you can get a mid pipe between the maf and the throttle body and then get a drop in filter like a k&n or dry one like TRD,or what im using a HKS
