Default 95 gt 5.0 NO power

I got a 95 mustang gt with the 5.0. The car feels powerless. I raced a buddy of mine in a vr6 jetta and he was next to me the whole time i was on full throttle from 3rd to 4th. the car is sputtering at 3000 rpms and even when im cruisin at 30 to 45 mph. Any ideas wtf is going on ???

I could see a VR6 keeping up with a stock 5.0 GT.

ok list of mods
Jegs Cat back exhaust system( soon to be magnaflow)
Msd cap and rotor
Subframe connecters
Cold air intake (need a new one)
rebiult t5 (1000) miles
autolite sparkplugs
Im hoping its something to do with the timing i advanced it 10 degrees a few weeks ago., fuel filter and or spark plug wires cause there all stock.

Not a whole lot done to it, anything that can boost somepower( minus a supercharger or turbo dont have that kinda money)

That can cause problems. I'd replace those right away.

3rd to 4th? So you did this from a dead stop or highway speeds?
