New Clutch lose of power?

I had a new clutch put in, by a local shop There was chattering in the Sachs pressure plate that they installed the first time, so they tried it again putting in another Sachs clutch, but that one also caused chattering, finally the shop decided to go with the three finger pressure plate, hope the 3rd times a charm. I was just going by the mechanic's suggestion, they were determained to get it right and I praise them for their patients and understanding. The clutch works fine, but now I've noticed a good loss of power, not sure how replacing the clutch could lose power. This may sound funny, but before I would breeze up the inclines on the freeway at 55 mph, but with loss of power it seems I have to step on the gas pedal to hit 45 mph. Any suggestions on the power loss, or what to look for? I'm sure the shop is getting tired of seeing me. Thought I ask here first before I visit them again.

Well, they had to yank the engine, so lots of things could have gotten messed up.

I think I would start by checking the accel cable. Does the throttle open completely?

Next would be timing and, especially, advance.

Plug wires reversed? Nah!
