Default Chevy blazer

I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer 4.3 4x4 automatic. I recently put new intake gaskets on put it back together it runs good but now when you put it into gear you have to give a lot of gas to even move especially reverse checked all plugs to make sure they are plugged in tight fluid level is good no codes either any suggestions

Will timing being off make the transmission not shift or not pull

I'd guess the transmission is binding up if you hadn't just had the intake off.

What does the timing angle show at idle?
