Have you tried lowering the shift RPM's to see what it likes ?

What are your trap rpm's ?

Way too many RPM. There is no reason to turn that motor that high. Put it on the dyno, Ill bet it plays out 6150-6300 so all you are doing by turning it 7100 is slowing the car down and giving your best effort to spread parts.

Ok I'm gonna try to shift it lower but my thought is it is my single plane. Flows to much for stock heads?
