Check and replace if necessary the coil and TFI module. Are you sure it's engine related or the transmission is slipping?

what plugs and wires are you using? check them at night for arcing this will drain power for sure. you didnt say what motor you have but bumping the timing up to 12*btdc with the spout connector removed will wake it up for sure. how many miles on motor you might think about a compression test. also a clogged cat can cause significant power loss. is your exhaust stock still?
