I don't think you can get away with that much timing with that low of a stall. Breaking motor in with that much timing wont be a problem. Driving on the street I think it would detonate.

With the primary rods in it (which is fine) with no load on engine the rods are down in the lean or big part of the rod. Just not enough fuel is getting past the rod/jet for the raised RPM.

As a quick fix when breaking cams in I've just ran some duck tape across the choke area to richen it up. Cherry red exhaust will be gone. Don't forget to remove duck tape after break in.
