It seems very slow to rev up. Is it firing on all 8? 2 plug wires crossed??
It is hard to say from so far away.
It is a good idea to use videos to communicate the problem though.

If you take a stick of wood and hold it to your ear and put the end on various parts of the motor you might be able to tell where the noise is coming from.

You could also help yourself by removing the fan belt and the chain on the filter to stop all the extra noises.

Was it running ok before you made the changes?
