and as the title says i felt a power loss
i did a few changes which are:

-Ignition Coil (one of them were bad)
-Moroso Spark Plug Wires
-NGK Spark Plugs

and i am still feeling the power loss...

Define this power loss.

When does it occur? What RPM's?

You might have a clogged cat or need a new engine.

Check your cat. Do a compression test.

i'll let you know tomm, my 8
is sounding like a beat up civic when i
step on the gas...clogged cat?
thanks for the advice

Sounds like a beat up Civic? I'd totally go and check your cat to see if it's destroyed before it leads to a catastrophic engine failure.

This is a cat:



















In the car world, a cat (catalytic converter) is known as this:


It's right behind your exhaust manifold. I would remove the cat and check it to see if it's fubar'd.
