EDIT: I'll just amend my statement now; if you haven't checked out some of the tuning threads over in the tech section, grab a soda, cup or coffee, or a beer and start reading. There are likely over a hundred threads on conditions exactly like what you explain above...guys like rustyratrod, moper, abodybomber, etc are all very knowledgeable and could help you out quite a bit. That being said, check out the tech section and search tuning, or timing, or something related and just check out all the hits you'll get

I think I will go this route. I'd rather learn something new and spend my money on new tools than labor at someone else's shop. I just run the risk of learning incorrectly or getting stuck, but at least maybe I'll be more informed about how to explain my issues. I actually did have someone look at the timing last summer, but I'm not sure what he did or where the timing was set.

I guess I just wanted some input on whether my expectations were too high, or if my components weren't optimally matched.
