Stall and gears would help out a ton. Holley has a ton of good videos on youtube on how to tune a carb. Did you degree the cam when you intalled it? What about timing? A degree or two either way can really make a difference. What is your air cleaner setup?

Currently running a 2500 stall however I don't think it's enough,if I buy another one I may just swap out the tranny to a turbo 350,to be honost I can't remember off the top of head what we set the timing exactly at,I know it's advanced pretty good,I'll have to get my timing light back out & try & fix the end ( plug wire ) melted on the header

Mixture screws only effect idle. Dont go by sound. If you dont have a wideband, hook up a cheap vacuum gauge and adjust the mixture screws to max vacuum at idle. 650 carb sounds like it could be a restriction but i dont know anything about that head/cam combo. I ran a quick fuel 850 on a stock bottom 6.0. The 650 should be pretty dang snappy at part throttle cruising. Get a wideband to tune your jets.
Whats your timing at?

Never mind I answered my own question,manifold vacuum,not ported
Also I don't know exactly where my timing is at this point,the clip that goes on #1 got hot & melted some so I'm either gonna ha e to buy another gun or see if I can find another harness for the one I have,I won't be able to work on it until later tonight after work or early in the morning
