Do you have instant throttle response in park? Check the throttle body for excess varnish and clean as necessary. Check the MAP, O2 and MAF for proper output. Also do a compression test on all cylinders. Normally a cylinder should operate at 120-140psi however this can even vary to 100-160psi. No cylinder should be less than 20% of any of the other cylinders.

Timing chain is most likely the cause of power loss however the above list might also be robbing you of your performance.
