2) Check that the air path from the intake manifold's boost fitting to the ALDA on the injection pump is clear. The small lines and changeover valve can plug up with soot from the EGR. 350's don't have a cat so it's likely not an exhaust problem.

When we pulled the head on my 91 350SDL we found theintake clogged with black gooey carbon build up. There were places about the size of a pencil with all the clogging. After cleaning all that out the car had a lot more power up in the rpm ranges.
