You should be above 200 WHp by 7,000 rpm. The old engine in my car did that with a cleaned-up stock port, factory manifold, factory ignition, and 8.2:1 polished turbo rotors. I also use a mustang dyno - you can't improve on steady-state loading...

I think that the carbs are running very rich. I always had trouble getting a carb to run at all with vacuum if I leaned it up enough to make power at WOT.

I really like fuel injection.

Still, there is something to be said for old school.
