yep, too big on the intake and TB.
all you did was lose throttle response.
you need heads and cam now.
bumping timing.
upgraded H-pipe
bigger MAF
Electric fan from Licoln Mark VIII ( yes there is hp waiting in your stock fan )
200amp alternator from PA performance
underdrive pullies
rear end gears will make a world of difference 3.73's or 4.10's

no big deal swapping cam with good set of tools
TrickFlow stg 1 cam would be very good.
Maybe look for some GT-40 heads off an explorer, on ebay for $300-400 all the time.

You should look into suspension work/upgrade too.
