No Power

I have a stock 96 and its lacking power. On hills it wont do over 50 MPH when floored. It starts great, idles great, and run great. It only blow a little smoke on cold starts. Any ideas where to start?

Just did the fuel filter and prefilter. Maybe I need to look inside the tank.

build your tranny and figure out what your goals hp wise are and build it that way so you don't just go get a full builet tranny and not need it and then get gauges and then go from there
