POWER--. Two items are holding back the power output.
1: Intake manifold. designed in the mid sixties as an aluminum replacement for a stock '65 intake, you're chocking off about 30-40 HP.
2: timing. The Edelbrock heads need about (depending on version} need about 38- 41 deg. total timing for max performance. I am assuming timing is set to 31 total to suppress detonation.
