Alright so here is an update. My mechanic friend stopped by yesteday to get this thing tuned. He didn't get too far as the verdict came down to a super gummed up carb. As in it is the main culprit to this horrendous experience. The jet screws could be turned completely closed to completely open and the car wouldn't notice a difference.

I currently have an Edelbrock 1406 600cfm, but I am thinking to buy an Edelbrock 1611 750 cfm (with an electric choke, yay). Anyway, so that's where is stands. Sucks that I now have to blow some more money, but good to make progress. Does a 750cfm make more sense on this as that was what it was from factory?
