Should Have Better Power 1985 Camaro

85 Camro Iroc, 305 TPI.
350 heads completely rebuilt and installed. The transmision completely rebuilt, including torgue convertor.
Vehicle timing computer set by local garage.
New gas tank, new fuel pump fuel and filter. The fuel has been treated for injector cleaning(seafoam).
But the engine appears to be sluggish when punching down on the gas from a dead stop.
It just appears it should have more power or get up and go.
I also hear an occasional backfire, once in a while the check engine light comes on but goes away. But the car appears to run smoothly, idles good and has never stalled on me.
Can anyone please give me some ideas on what could cause this problem?
