Just a thing or two more. I haven't seen what your cam duration at .050 is. Just because you have an advertiesed duration of 280 or so, doesn't mean duration at .050 isn't something like 204. I've seen this in a cam someone sold me. Super nice lowend torque, but wouldn't breath. Now I have a cam with the same advertised 280 duration, but at .050 it's 246 degress. NOW she breaths on top. Bear in mind that I'm running a windsor of 393 cubes. Also, I read where someone mentioned a new air cleaner. The Edelbrock Pro Flow tri oval has NO restriction below 1000 cfm. My dyno runs proved that. Also, you do have too much Carb. There's my two cents worth. Good Luck.
