thanks all, I will try to tune what I have prior to a cam swap, just because I have another motor that's going in anyways soon. But I want this one running very well before I pull it.

I very much appreciate all the suggestions and recommendations (except for "maybe it's the driver" lets leave it at I know how to drive a car or bike with exceedingly good results). My biggest problem is I always had a crew to do my tuning, they set them up and I ran them. Now I want to know how, and do it myself.

My biggest hope is that there is not a huge enough mismatch in this system, and I can successfully tune the setup to have some pretty reliable performance, doesn't have to scream. That's what the next motor is for.
