Default running like crap in higher rpms

I have a 69 camaro with a lt4 in it and seems like it is hitting a rev limiter above 5100 rpm it has a new alternator, new msd coil, newer msd opti, new plugs and wires. here are the specs on the engine

12:1 compression
Eagle h beam Rods
Eagle crank
Srp pistons
Tea stage 3 LT4 heads with port matched LT4 intake
Arp head studs
Arp main studs and rod bolts
comp 987 dual springs
titanium retainers
custom ground cam fro TEA 236/246 610intake
618exhaust 114LSA
30lb injectors
Hardened pushrods
high volume oil pump
MSD opitspark
New GM waterpump
Polished fuel rails
polished valve covers
Holley 58MM throttle body
PCM with motor tune in it
total seal rings
4 bolt main
clevite bearings
0 decked
balnced and blue printed

The tuner also said that alternator voltage was reading 14.1 but at the coil it was reading 12.6 then it drops to 11.6 to 11.4 in the upper rpms. He also said that the actual igintion timing that the scan tool is showing does not match the targeted spark in the wideopen spark table.

thanks guys for your help the tuner didnt seem to be much.
