A stock geo is faster then my Z, help me find my lost hp problem. please


ok, i got the Z up and running and its been a project for awhile. my 280 sounds and idles perfect, except for.... my very very slow take off and all together hp is pretty much gone. A stock lil geo storm was being stupid on the freeway so i went to pass it and they hit the gas and i couldnt keep up. so i started tinkering with the Z. When i did the head one of the water pump bolts had broke off into the block, so i do have a very small leak in it and it doesnt overheat either, so for the time being until i have the time to fix that i decided to flush the radiator, so i drained it and refilled it and but some Bars leak and when i started up the Z. it had SO much more response and take off just like new, then after about 10min. of driving it went back to the slow lag of power. Is it possible that the leak is causing my loss?
I also know i do need to change out my fuel injector connectors for sure, but they are holding a good connection. I just replaced vacumm lines, oil change, tune up, Maf rebuild. So what can it be? Your help and ideas will really help, also if anyone can possibly look at the Z and help troubleshoot it with me i have a couple things i can barter with for your help...thanks
