Default Need Help Power= Not There

ok guys i REALLY NEED HELP, i just flat out do not like how my new camaro runs, it was alittle better at first with the old clutch but still not like a 300+ hp car should be, first of all ive got a pretty good shake at idle, neutral and in gear, im almost positive its motor mounts, and when i change them im gettin spark plugs too, which i hope will fix my next problem, the power band, it feels like i have no power until above 3200 rpm, even in first it feels like im in 2 gears to high(in first) until i get up above 3000 rpm, i mean i engage the clutch and am just barely rollin, like idlin, and i GUN it WOT and it doesnt even peel em, NE ONE HAVE NE IDEAS WUT THE DEAL IS???

i always look at ignition first, it seems to always be my problem. make sure you dont have a wire arching or a fouled plug.

also look at your air filter and fuel filter
