Answer
Hello

With the SPOUT connector removed, ignition timing should be 10 degrees BTDC and no more.

If you still lack power, remove one oxygen sensor and install a cheap fuel pressure tester -low pressure style and start and run engine at 2000 rpm.  if you have more than 2 inches pressure, then you have a plugged exaust. otherwise, check for 18-20inches vacuum at the manifold at idle.
