Need to verify that TPS and MAP are working properly. How is the compression?

Could also be a restricted exhaust. If you remove the O2 sensor and drive it does the problem go away?

Had very similar situation on my '90 Suburban 454. Mechanic found that the distributor shaft journal bearings were shot. Put in a whole new distributor assy from GM (about $250), and suddenly had all the power I forgot I origanially had.

Good luck, Steve
