Check the trans fluid level. Sometimes a slipping trans will emulate torque loss.

Is it misfiring at all? My car used to be just like that, I did a tune up, plugs/wires/o2's and it went away.

Re: No low RPM power

I remember it was my wires, one of them was burnt clear though, 7-cylinders. Double check them.
