Cranking PSI is too high.
I'd swap the cam, intake and carb.

Thanks Chef.
I thought the pressure was high too. Had to get another gage just to make sure.
Is that about 11:1?
Must have been decked?
Why the cam, intake and carb swap?
What would you swap to?
Thanks again for your help.

A larger cam will better use the heads and help manage your compression.
I'm partial to solid cams but for a hydraulic flat, maybe a Voodoo 703. Assuming you are around 400 cubes.
As Steve said, the Performer intake is limiting. RPM is much better.

The cam swap sounds interesting. As Steelcity mentioned, the RPM might be a problem with clearance on the ram air.

I drove it last summer. It would pull good up until about 5000K and then it just runs out of pull. It's just not as quick and fast as it should be. All the parts in the build check out. Compression test shows good compression. I'm going to look a little closer at the timing and the distributor.
