Default Just replaced timing belt...question about engine performance?

Well, I did the timing belt replacement on my wife's 1991 Accord DX. It was my first timing belt change ever. It was a challenge but I did it. Here is a question.

I started the car up after putting it back together. The engine idles smooth just like before I took everything apart. So I think the timing belt is just fine. However, when driving the car, there is a noticeable difference in acceleration and power. It was not a speed demon to begin with, but it feels pretty doggy from 1K rpm to 2.5K rpm. Do I need to check and adjust the ignition timing? Thanks.

Aaron
