In my experience almost ALL of the power problems I've seen with

too low (or getting insufficient boost pressure from the intake
manifold).
Ok, as far as I can tell using a mirror etc, the lever does go all
the way to stop pin on the back of the IP, when the accelerator is
fully pressed.
So I'll swap out the fuel filters next, and ponder a bit.
That and do a Y setup to the ALDA and the guage and do some runs to
see if anything odd happens to boost pressure.
A plugged main fuel filter can take a few seconds off the 0-60 time and
limit hill climbing capacity and top speed. Paradoxically, fuel economy
often suffers as well.
