Check your gas mileage after normal driving. I would say if it is below 18 mpg with no boosting, then you have a fueling issue.
Also ditch the pre-cat if it is still installed. That is somewhat easy to take off... somewhat....well maybe not...

I second, that's not normal under typical sounds like a leaky injector, there is a write up on setting the TPS and setting idle. It's something you should do anyways and will be a good exercise in determining if you have other problems.
