Default engine problems 4.0 v8

hello everybody.
i am jurrian and from Holland
i am new on this forum while i just bought my first discovery2.
the previous owner replaced the head gasket because it was leaking.
after that the car is not running good anymore.
it runs fine untill 80 km/h and then it hardly wants to accelerate anymore.
the car is not loosing any cooling water and i have changed the 8 spark plugs.
it is a 4.0 v8 from 2000.
if somebody has any tips for me pls let me know.

Do you have a check engine warning light on, if so go have the codes read and get back to us with the 4 diget fault code numbers.

Possible vaccum leak or a bad head gasket replacement. Hard to say with this limited information.
Sorry I can be of more help.

Plugs may have been wired wrong.

It could really be many things at this point.
