The stock cam, and valvesprings, is a huge limiter to rpms and top end power. I'd doublecheck that total timing and then consider a cam/valvespring swap. The carb tuning suggestion is a great low-buck idea to try right away. It could help with the detonation, maybe. R.I.P.- Gary "Coop" Davis 02/09/68-05/13/04
