Rob, for whats its worth, a couple of on-line calculaters I saw take the 5.77/118 and predict 9.15/146...so not that far off, and at 3000 feet...My brothers BBC Monte Carlo has been 9.17 in good air at 146 or so...

Couple of things maybe to look at if you havent...

EGT

What size carb ? If its the one off your other motor maybe not enough CFM ? I would think
you have a dominator right ?

The other thing, you said you made come changes based on what george said, but if it made no change whatsoever, I think I'd concentrate on the tuneup...On my terminator until I could make a change and actually see it in the EGT/water temp, every change I made, made no difference on the track...Maybe see if you can make it really fat or lean, then go from there...
