OP went higher so in effect lost grip adding to the lackluster performance he now feels.
Just trying to solidify the fact that it wasn't the spacers (there's just no way) and that the tire change is the culprit...

well, considering there are better wearing tires that have much higher level of grip, that is a long shot. take PSS for instance. those wear like frikken all season tire territory (300AA).. and they grip much better than the factory RE050A's or AdvanSports.
RE11's are also 200AA which have better wear than RE050A's...but they are super grippy.
I think the weight difference in tires and sidewall stiffness can give different acceleration feel between the tires. Bridgestones are pretty heavy in general so not sure if it's the weight difference... probably more from tire feel in general and some loss in traction.
