Default Need help, experiencing engine problems.

I was driving my car today, and felt as if it were lacking some power. I'm a little confused as to what's wrong w/ it. I do have a blown gasket, but I don't think that wouldn't cause much of an issue. When I rev it up, it doesn't sound quite as muscular. When I'm driving there's no funny noises. Occasionally I'll get a missfire upon start up.It just doesn't feel like it's on all cylinders, any suggestions guys?

Could it feel sluggish b/c of the CCW wheels I just put on? (19s)
Could a valve be bent?
Could it be valve float?

It sounds like the air is coming in and kinda just going out???

Thanks in advance guys.
