A few interesting ideas mentioned here that I will try. I talked to my engine builder to get his take on it. He also said do not rule out bad gauges. Also suggested a few things, try a meat thermometer in the radiator cap hole while running and see what it says, he puts a rag over whatever he is using is IR gun on and lets the heat warm the rag as the paint can reflect the guns beam and not give accurate reading, Also suggested checking timing as mentioned in your replies.
Thanks for any suggestions and keep them coming. I welcome them all!
