You don't just loose 14mph with no other symptoms. How's the car running? Idling ok? Is it smoking? Does it have any funky smells? Does it sound different? Does it feel as fast as it used to?

every things fine except being down on power so yes it feels dog slow now but a/f perfect oil press ok,timing is on i mean everything feels rite but no power if i had no clue to what the car can run i'd have tought it normal .why i'm starting to think it's the tranny binding up some how i've never had issues doing second gear burn outs last night she was having issues

You could have a boost leak somewhere before the MAF as well. Check all your pipes. Pressurize the entire system, listen for hissing sounds. Is the turbo making proper boost? The same as always? Take a close look at the wastegate to make sure it's not opening too early.
