versized carb, or badly tuned?

I rebuilt the carb, but left the bowls as is. Gave everything a REALLY good cleaning. Then turned the pressure down to 6, as it was closer to 8 psi than anything. It runs pretty good now. Not perfect, but good for a large 600cfm on a stock 12a. I think there might be a small street port on the motor, but I am unsure... Kinda sucks when the previous owner knows nothing about there car.

I think I'll be switching to my webers anyway. I'll just mess around with the holley a bit more for the learning experience.
