4.2 poor acceleration, intake backfire

truck is a 1997 f150 4.2 auto. has intake backfire and poor acceleration off the line.it has 150,000KM and was untouched until it came to our shop. we have changed plugs and wires, done a comp test, reprogrammed the pcm, replace the crank sensor, cleaned the injectors and mass air flow sensor and tested it, we then tried a used computer and nothing has helped it still has the factory exhaust on it.can anybody help us out.
