I think skylined covered it pretty well. If you haven't already done it, a Fastman TB and performance exhaust system would help to.

clogged injectors
death flash

are they replacement heads or performance heads? you may need a custom tune to bring your upgrades together
is it a lack of power, or are you getting so much tranny slippage that you can't get power to the ground
