16v Saab's Since you just had the head done, I'm assuming you put in new spark plugs. NGK's are best. A bad distirbutor rotor can cause poor high RPM performance, and the resistance between the tip and the conter contact should be 1000 ohms.
Timing is set by the EZK ignition triggered off the crank position sensor, so I would check connections and wiring in that system. I'm a turbo guy, so I'm not up to speed on EZK.
I would double check that the timing chain is right, you can inspect the position by pulling the valve cover and seeing if the sprocket marks line up. Lots of BB posts on this especailly relating to headgasket jobs, and often the cams will be off a tooth, which can cause your symptoms.
Other than that, a bad Air Mass Meter can cause flat spots and poor high RPM performance under load.
