Default Loss of horsepower!!

Looking for any advice. I have a 92 mustang with a 306, aluminum heads, E303 cam,full roller moter,cobra intake,comp headers,tremec 5-speed, 3.73's, I still have the stock injectors fuel pump and throttle body and the computer hasnt been tuned yet. Ok my problem is that I have had a gradual power loss for about the past 2 months, the car runs fine no hesitation or misfire but when you push on the gas it doesnt have any power. Thanks

Have you tried pulling codes or anything like that? You have realized nothing else wrong with the car besides loss of power?

Get it tuned. Youll probably need a little induction help, like larger injectors, and a T-Body.

Unfortunately the car was rewired and the codes dont show up and cant be pulled. I checked out the engine itself and its seems fine

With those heads and cam you NEED to send more gas, your car is starving for fuel. At least thats what it sounds like to me.

What heads are you running? It wouldnt hurt though to upgrade to 24lb injectors and a 190 fuel pump...

^^ Doesnt NEED a 255 pump but you CAN if you want since the car has a return style fuel system.
