Re: gsx struggles at a launch Also check to make sure your spark plugs are still gaped properly.

Re: gsx struggles at a launch +1 on plug gaps and BLT. And don't just "look for leaks", do an actual BLT. Before you say you don't have a tester or compressor, look up how to make a tester (I made one for $7 from Home Depot parts) and ask around to see who has a compressor, or rent one from Home Depot.
