Default running rough???

i have a 87' 5.o 5spd, and i adjusted the timming by hand(timming light broke) and seemed to ide ok, then i took it around the block and the clutch felt weird, it starts to release ablout a inch from the floor, and then takes off quick, the previous owner replaced the clutch at midas but i dont know if he putt a bigger one in it or not. and when i was in 2nd gear at 2800 rpm's i floored it and it kinda struggeled then got going, but wasnt very impressed, it has been sitting for a couple of years, what could be the problem?
