Take it out of comfort mode.

It could be transmission adaptations, there's a procedure to reset you can search for but may be easier to just disconnect the battery overnight. Then drive the hell out of it when you get going again. If you don't have a code reader, that may also be helpful, could be something hidden/not triggering a CEL.

get a code reader. Check if any stored codes. Run some data logs. Look at your throttle plate opening percentage as well as fuel trims a/f ratio ect ect

Are you on your stock intake manifold gaskets? If you are, I can pretty much guarantee you need a new one, as well as a new PCV while you're at it.

“I’m down on power, what wrong” hahahahaha get ready for like a hundred different responses dude. Just look already.

Learn how to run the codes, it’s not hard. Go to Amazon and buy an OBD2 dongle and download an app, it’s easy.

Then come back here with the results. Then we can help you. Otherwise you’re going to keep getting suggestions from all over the map from people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

Run car to empty and put shell 93 in the tank. Go from there because it can be a lot of things.

If you don't have a scan tool unplug battery and let the car start fresh with the new gas..

I've seen clogged cats from failed pcv valve into the intake.

I'll go with one of your fuel pumps died. However you need to go somewhere that knows what they are doing. If the dealer is screwing your car up, you're taking it to the wrong place or tech. Find another.
