My crystal ball is out on lone right now , so what CID motor are we discussing here ? :-)
I would leave the carb as is for now until you drive it and or take it to track, or better yet if you can strap it onto a chassis Dyno.
I have heard that the 950 HP ultra models need nothing but some jetting tweaks to produce the best HP and torque, but even without that they run very well drivability wise right out of the box.
I would assume from looking at your posted set up that yours , even though not an Ultra model would be the same.
The only uncertainty I have which also hinges on your cars rear gearing is if that primary power valve might open too soon.
At any rate your secondary side jetting sounds rich enough to keep you from burning the pistons up and sending rods out of the motor at WOT and high rev’s.
Speaking of getting things out of the motor , should we assume your running headers on this build?
Also I hope since this seems like mainly a fun street car that your Distributor has vacuum advance?
To me and many others on this forum who have tried running street motors with and without, having Vacuum advance or using an electronic ignition system that can be programmed to act as such is a flat out necessity and only does real good things when limited to 8 to 10 degrees of added timing.
PS
It would also help if you posted your Cam specs / details and not left it up to us to go track them down.
PS
I know this is a heavy car.
I had a 71 and looking out over the steering wheel to the nose of the hood was like looking out over the deck of a Aircraft Carrier from my Navy service days!
