Did you tune the carb? most out of box holleys need to be jetted. is the carb a double pumper or vacuum secondary? Your distributors advance may need to be recurved, Did you install the cam straight up? most aftermarket timing chains come with several keyways on the crank gear. Did you install a new torque converter with your trans? A stock stall converter will cause no balls down low. You may need a converter with a stall speed about 1000 rpm increase. I have seen many nicely built motors that do not perform because the owner did not install a converter to match engines tourque curve.
