86 2.8l Idle surge and lack of power

I know I only get like 137 horsepower, but im having an issue with it not starting without some spray and it falls on its face at first when you take off but then will start driving okay. I have put in a new fuel tank, new sending unit, fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel injectors, MAF sensor, spark plugs, spark wires. Today I set the timing correctly at 10 btdc because when I did it the first time i missed the step to remove the tan/blk wire but after doing it properly it ran shittier than before i touched it. I can't figure out anything else as to why it runs like crap or can barely accelerate up mild hills. And every now and then the idle will surge up to the red line and stop like 500 before the top.
