Unhappy Losing power??

Hey everyone. I drive a 94 Mustang GT with a 5L in it. Just recently i noticed that i have lost power once i pin it to the floor. Normally its quite snappy and has a good power band to the end of my revs. Now when i step on it, it feels like it has some kick off the start but right away it feels like it has no more power. Also, when i used to shift into 2nd gear and so on when i was racing it would give you a good jerk and now it feels like it shifts really smooth becuase of the lack of power. Any idea whats going on? Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Its definetally not the air filter. It could be the cats or a fuel related problem. Thats what i was thinking. Im pretty sure its not clutch related though. Only reason the clutch feels different is becuase the car is runnning differently i believe. How cant i check my cats and fuel pressure without taking it to a pro?
