Default 1994 mustang 5.0 no power at high rpm

Hey im new to the form because i just purchased a 1994 mustang Gt 5.0 5speed with 96,000 miles, and it has some issues, it has a little wiggle at idle like its missing, and it has absolutly no horse power above 3500 rpm, so i think that the timming is off or something along that line, i put a timing light on it and i could see the mark on the crank pully anywhere near the timming make, which i has maked both white so it would be inposible to miss, i have restored a 1967 mustang and done all the work on it my self and it also has a 5.0 but its carb, and i just dont touch anything with a computer unless i realy understand whats happening, any input would be nice and very appreciated,
Thanks
Ted

timing is probably off

fuel filter gets clogged very easy

fuel pressure could be low too if the FP is off even a little bit u will notice it

Had the same problem with my 93 GT a month ago. It turned out to be a bad mass airfllow sensor. Replace your fuel filter, do a full tune-up, and check your timing. You can even try unplugging your mass airflow sensor, start the car and drive it around to see if it runs better. That's how I fixed my hesitation at 3000RPM's problem
